...to live in Davis Square?

The square, while my favorite place in the entire Boston area and one of my fave neighborhoods eva, is getting younger and younger. I like that there is stuff to do though, but I also like the peace and quiet...I am like Jonathan Richman; I want the city but I want the country too.

Can you all help me remember why I love my one - bedroom apartment outside Davis at a time when most people my age have kids and a picket fence and do horrible things like golf?

Or should I just shut up and stop acting like an asshat cuz I know its cool to be 35?

I am simply seeking some validation, as tomorrow is my birthday.

still, thoughts on why we love the square?


-N-Lo

I'm over 35...

and sometimes I do feel old living around here. Especially when I... err... notice... some attractive woman and realize she might be half my age...

But then, I'll sometimes just go out to Diesel, or even just for a walk... and I remember why I love living in a place that just *feels* alive. After dark, in the 'burbs, it's like some sort of ghost town, walking the streets. Everyone's inside, with the SUV parked in the driveway. Give me the energy of a place where people actually live, not just go home to.

I was sitting in Someday the other day, musing that I was probably the oldest person in the room, when a bunch of 50 to 60-somethings walked in. So, just wait a moment, and it'll get diverse(er).
