This is the corner of my street, Holden Street, at Kirkland Ave. Going west (to the left) on Kirkland takes me to GSD. My building complex is the red brick building on the left, just above the cars.
 

One of the back streets to my apartment/townhouse complex. My building is the third one back, just to the right of the tree trunk. The dumpster where I found the chair is just barely visible on the right.

The first impression my dad and I had when we saw the ubiquitous red brick sidewalks and buildings was, “how can they get away with such earthquake-unsafe buildings?” Then we realized that they must not have to worry much about earthquakes here.
 

Walking around Cambridge, we found numerous monuments and plaques commemorating historical events, such as this one under (a descendant of) the original tree where George Washington supposedly took command of the Continental Army on July 3, 1775.

According to a Boston guide book, however, the historic event may, in fact, have occurred at another location of the park a hundred feet away … or it may have occurred at another location altogether. In any case, it seems to have occurred somewhere in Cambridge. And the baseball field likely wasn’t there at the time.
