Last days in Davis Square

No Comments »

I’m only moving across town lines to Arlington, but I’m pretty attached to my neighborhood here in Davis Square. It is still a bit hard to believe that tomorrow is my last day in my Davis apartment before I become a resident of Menotomy.

I just updated the site with a totally new look—this one’s a lot more newsy and professional than the previous format. It also allows for greater photo integration, which is pretty sweet. I feel it’s a bit more conducive to quick-hit entries, and that’s what I’ve been wanting to do all along!

If you go into back entries all that far, they might not work perfectly with the new format. Sorry about that.

One last note: After a lovely year and a half in Davis Square, I’m moving out. Thankfully it won’t be a big move—I’m going to be about 5 minutes away by car, just across the border in Arlington. It’s bittersweet: I love living in Davis Square, but quite frankly, my rent’s awfully high. This definitely is a hot neighborhood and it’s been a blast living in the heart of it.

Go figure, when I put my apartment up on Craigslist, we got responses within a day, and barely two days after the listing went up, a new tenant already signed a lease! Amazing.

Powder snow wallop!

We here in the Boston area finally got our first real snowstorm of the year. Yes, “finally,” as I really look forward to winter snowfall. (It really does take a special kind of person to live in New England!) The snow was beautiful, perfect powder snow—the kind that’s a joy to ski or board on, a real breeze to shovel, but not so much fun to drive in. It sticks between your treads and everything.
