Squaring of the Square?

I knew more BIG change, and BIG business was coming to Central Square. The sign for me occurred a few years ago when the benches (where the harmlessly-dangerous drinkers used to chill) were taken away (Y'all miss ‘em too huh!!!). Then Manhattans, my urban gear store, departed only to be replaced by a bank. read more...

Temperatures were freezing but the cocoa was hot at the Central Square Holiday Fair on Friday, December 7th. The presentations were small-scale and heart warming. My first stop was to hear what sounded like singing angels at Carl Barron Plaza, at the crossroads of Mass. and Western Aves. The Peabody school "Early Bird Singers" lead by Ms. Silverberg spiced up the frigid air with renditions of holiday tunes as proud parents and enchanted passers-by circled the angelic voices with smiles of appreciation.

As the frosty darkness of nighttime advanced, I walked briskly along Mass. Ave. to the Salvation Army site where the Boy Scouts saved my fingers from frostbite by offering a steaming cup of hot chocolate topped with whipped cream and a complimentary chocolate kiss. This was well worth the $1.50 their fundraiser charged per cup. read more...

I rolled out the house on a brightly, breezy Saturday of October thirteenth, my intention was to head to Out of the Blue Gallery for the art opening of And Still We Rise created by the women of R.O.A.D (Reaching Out Against Depression). But I took a detour and rolled to Central Square in Cambridge to catch a glimpse of ArtsCentral 2007. This was the third year that Cambridge artisans collaborated with various businesses in the Square in order for the masses to See Art in Everything. That afternoon, I bumbled with the Sony readying self to grab shots of artists when my ears had to stop and pause. Afro bass, steady groove, 70’s like, clamored at me from the Brookline Street direction. Soon thereafter, I met a curly haired Latin dude inna money green jacket chatting with passers by. The Evidence of Sound hung across his neck…
