coffee and community

[enochs-fable.livejournal.com]

Hi there!

I'm a student working on a project about baristas, indie coffeehouses and their relationships to the communities around them. So, I'd love to talk with baristas or staff at Diesel or Bloc 11 in Somerville who are willing to share their experiences over lunch or a hot beverage (I'm buying). I'm interested in stories or reflections about working and the connections to the area.

Email me at nameofdog AT yahoo.com if you're interested.

That's really funny. I use the term "Camberville" all the time and totally never thought of it as denoting a bounded location *within* the regional union. Now I want to post a poll!

I've always considered it any neighborhood that was very near or on top of the city line. Inman is textbook Camberville but I also consider Porter and Davis to be Camberville. That's how I use it.

But I've heard people use it to refer to ANYTHING on the red line past Charles or anywhere in either Cambridge or Somerville.
