Yeah, and that's what the buses say too

Lynn - ane

I’ve always heard it Lin-ee-an.

If you knock on Liz Warren's door she would probably tell you (it's "lin-AY-un")

I don’t miss Starbucks as a brand but think that Harvard square double level Starbucks that was also a student space for performances was a damn shame to lose.

Same

We should build a phylogenetic tree of all the different pronunciations.

Lin-AY-un, without a doubt.

Iggy's is opening a cafe on Huron Ave with croissants and coffee and a wood-burning fireplace!

Yeah, it could be hard for a first location to fill some of these spots. Might have to hope for small chains

I’m so down for a coffee shop / wine bar to open at the putnam ave location. I live around the corner and would LOVE to have it filled again. Miss that place

The business model has barely made sense for a while now. The aftermath of COVID forced shutdowns and the threat of unionizing are more nails in the coffin. Sit down coffee shops might become a thing of the past.

Not OP, but I’m curious on the Mass ave location of Hi Rise that closed as well- near Shepard st. I saw the windows papered over so I think something is happening there?

The M&T was already some other bank before it rebranded.

Try out CraigsList too, sometimes you can find gold on there apartment wise (at least for Cambridge/Boston area)

There's one down the street towards Davis

hmm I'm curious, where? I'm assuming you don't mean powderhouse sq

This is in fact new and not related to the AHO amendments.

I am the author of this petition and this is my solo endeavor. I'm on the board of The Cambridge Residence Alliance and Green Cambridge. I'm a co-founder and the treasurer of Upgrade Cambridge. I'm also a member of The Port Organizing Group. I have a technical degree from MIT which lends itself to understanding and making zoning amendments, however it is not civil engineering or urban planning based. I've been involved in Cambridge politics since 2018. I've seen a few zoning petitions go by and have used what I learned from them when crafting this one. I've met with city staff from the CDC about previous zoning proposals, and briefly with the Cambridge Director of Zoning & Development about my current proposal.

Is this something new? I thought there was already an amendment to the Affordable Housing Overlay that’s going before the committee tomorrow. I’ve voiced my support for that amendment by email.

I understand you are the author of this proposal. What is your affiliation/credential by the way?

Move to the suburbs then

That makes sense! Glad someone at least saw it. Was starting to question my memory

Keytar bear is always such a fun act, would be unfortunate if he had turned evil. He even game me a fist bump once
