Is 35 too old...

...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 toot dont think you should really compare davis square with nyc which in reality, is the world's capital. seriously.

But there are plenty of places to eat within a mile or two late late at night. by the way, orleans and joshua tree and rosebud serve past 10. i think diva does, though that overpriced place wont get my biznezz.

but there are like 9 parks in somerville. there is one right up hollaand ave, there is one just past ball square on broadway. there are the ones in east somerville.

I agree that places have their own unique charm, but i had to take offense earlier (not now) at what i guess i thought was that nyc snobbery that i hear from time to time. I'm actually writing this from stuvesant town in the east village by the way. but i like to defend my little burg of davis, even when i feel too old for it.

you humble opinion sounds right on. look on this sight, people will tell you where to eat and sit on the grass if you can't find what you are looking for.

Oh, and i hated being around a huge gathering of - of course - yankee fans last night. which was my birthday.

I like the professional sports team from Boston more than these yankees.

seriously, as i said to people last night...how can you root for the yankees? its like rooting for the house in black jack.

to the shower!
