Last time I went I had my cat's last record (also from the city clinic, I keep in in a pocket of her carrier), so she was able to get the 3 year vaccine.

(I keep the vaccine info in her carrier in case of evacuation. Some emergency shelters will demand proof. And if your pet doesn't have it on a collar it could be an issue. I hope we'll never have to evacuate to a shelter, but just in case.)

Whither after Somerville?

Hi all,

It's been clear for a while that I can't afford Somerville anymore, but I'm at a loss as to where to move next.

I've lived in Camberville for eight years, having moved here directly after college. I absolutely love this area--I love that I don't need a car, I love all our festivals, I love the concentration of artists/creatives and scientists/techies, and I love that Somerville is an actual community, not just a city. As a single, childless freelancer, I need those things to avoid going all Jack Torrence.

Does anyone have any suggestions for cities (local, national, international) that would suit someone who loves Somerville but can't swing $1500/mo for a one-bedroom, $18 for a sandwich/latte at a cafe, etc.?
