Mill Road Cemetery is one of my favorite parts of my neighborhood (see below), but there is a whole lot of stuff about my ‘hood that I find pretty delightful. Mill Road is the miscellaneously ethnic area of Cambridge – two North African restaurants, an art gallery, three coffee shops, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Middle Eastern, and hippie/yuppy whole foods grocery stores, bike shops, two curry houses and a Korean restaurant…its exhausting. And awesome.
The area just off of Mill Road, where I live, is quiet; lots of young families squeezed in modernized terrace houses on very narrow streets. A surprising number of local businesses occupy the first floor of a terrace house (my favorite is a violin/cello/viola/etc bow maker who looks like Santa Claus and has a workshop on Kingston St. Unfortunately I don’t have a photo of him).
Stay tuned for pictures of Mill Road and of downtown Cambridge, which is pretty sweet too.
Great blog and lovely pictures, I think I recognise all of them (except the doorknocker!), I can even see my old house in one of them! :o)
Thanks for visiting! Mill Road is wonderful – we were so lucky to end up there. I totally love my neighbourhood, and your comment was a good reminder to write more about it.
Excellent, I’ll make sure I sign up to follow your posts 🙂
