Anyone know what the loud bang was just now between Hampshire and Broadway Street near Colombia Street. Heard sirens after

I’m a self employed software engineer who doesn’t love the social isolation aspects of the work.

Are there any good co-working spaces in the area where there is some liveliness and social interaction?

I’ve got some free time coming up and I’d like to volunteer helping and learning about growing food (organic) does anyone know of any local opportunities?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Curious to hear people's thoughts on Cambridge's recently commissioned inclusionary housing study. The city hired RKG Associates to evaluate the feasibility of its current inclusionary housing policy and if it is effective in creating new housing. I'd encourage anyone interested in affordable housing in Cambridge to read the report. Interested to hear what others think of the findings.

I am going to Boston the week of Halloween, and my itinerary only includes visiting Salem, going to Harvard, and maybe traveling to New York; what are some inexpensive things to do and hole in the wall places to eat that are not all over Instagram and TikTok.

Now that the days are getting shorter, an increasing number of joggers are wearing headlamps to light their way, including in parks and on car-free paths. These lamps can be quite powerful; some seem to have the luminosity of car headlights. Is it really necessary to eliminate every patch of darkness from a walking path ten minutes before sunrise? I don’t know.

What I do know is that headlamps are worn on the forehead. That means they are positioned to shine directly into the face of any oncoming person. In other words, your convenient source of hands-free illumination is a blinding light shining directly at me.

I was always taught to consider this when using a headlamp while hiking or camping, situations where one typically encounters relatively few other people. The widespread obliviousness about headlamp externalities in more crowded areas is a testament to the selfishness inherent to so much fitness culture in this city.

I know what you’ll say— it’s about road safety and a response to reckless drivers. Wrong. There are many devices that can illuminate a jogger safely without blinding others. And I’m mostly talking about areas without cars. No, this is about joggers behaving like drivers, bringing the attitude and ideology of car culture to our paths.
