To the right is one of Kendall Square's most amazing vistas: seventeen bioengineering companies, all in your line of sight at once! To the left, a cab stand! And look, a food court! We're entering Central Square now, and the sharp-eyed amongst you will spot whole herds of real homeless people (Ooh!) as well as Indian restaurants (Aah!). Did you know that in this very spot, a cyclist was killed by a bus? Hop out and take pictures of yourselves lying on the pavement, folks! We won't get through this intersection for another ten minutes. ARE YOU READY TO DRIVE PAST A FUTON STORE?

for the love of god, no duckboats in cambridge!! duckboats out of central square!! the cambridge city council has earned my vote this year. seriously, would you want tour guides with loudspeakers driving by your house on a narrow street all day? quash a business? the duckboats seem to be doing just fine in boston. quaint, overpriced streets? the duckboats quack through the back bay and beacon hill. distinguish itself from boston? what in god's name are you blathering about? it's just another sad installment in Boston's never-ending quest to make Cambridge more like Boston.

Has all that quacking annoyed you since you moved here from Iowa 9-months ago?
