Reply to Shower filter for shitty cambridge water? by HippieHippo

Cambridge water is great, but you are accurate that it is harder than typical New England water and has a higher pH, and you may notice that in the shower. But also it's winter, there's no humidity, and everything is gonna seem dryer than you might like.

I've never had an issue with plants though.

Reply to STD testing in Cambridge? by Bentomat

Someone mentioned MAPP and they will do it completely free of charge. MGH has a clinic as well - they can work with insurance or you can choose to not use insurance and there is no cost ime.

I do not know if they still do it but the Massachusetts Alliance of Portuguese Speakers on Cambridge St runs (or used to) free anonymous STD testing. The actual location for the testing was in the oddly placed SCATV building in the middle of Union Sq in Somerville. They'll ask for a name, but they do not ask for ID.

It's not directly in Cambridge, but Planned Parenthood near BU is excellent and accepts all sorts of insurance. They can provide whatever you need

Reply to what's the story with the Cantab lounge? by FlimsyRaisin

Years ago when I first moved here I met friends of mine who were in grad school there after work. I’m the only one in a suit, which I think explains the interaction I had. Friends walk in first, no cover. I start to walk in, and the doorman demands a cover from me. It’s 6pm, no band playing yet, but they will start at 8pm. Well after we’re gone, a fact that doesn’t matter to him.

He insisted that I, and I alone, pay a cover charge. My friends were inside wondering where I went. One eventually came out and heard us, so we bounced.

It was the dumbest doorman interaction I’ve ever had. I’m sure the bar is great based on everyone’s love of it, but I wasn’t feeling like giving them any of my money after that interaction.
