Fieldtrip: Cambridge, MA

Cool Columbus is taking a field trip this weekend, back to my old stomping grounds: Cambridge, Massachusetts.

I spent a lot of my formative years here, and feel very at home, even after many years of being away. It was great to hop on the 'T', even with that strange, yet familiar smell of the subway station.

I also love being part of the crowd that feels so familiar to me (even though I am older than those around me now). Harvard Sq. and its soul has not changed one bit. Even the chess master is still here, waiting to be challenged. Maybe our son will be sitting opposite from him one day!
