Welcome to Centers and Squares

As a Cambridge real estate agent, the city squares of Cambridge, Somerville and Medford and the town centers of Arlington, Watertown and Belmont, Massachusetts are my home turf. And as a lifelong New Englander who’s lived within twenty miles of Boston most of my life, I can introduce you to other nearby towns as we search for your new home. If you’re planning to sell your home in Cambridge, MA or nearby you’ll find plenty of info about the home selling process here too. Questions? Send me an email or call me at 617-504-1737.

Jumbo Cash

Jumbo Cash In Medford

Jumbo Cash In Medford

I was surprised to see this Jumbo Cash Accepted banner on the Tasty Gourmet on Boston Ave.  I was psyched – I thought Medford had gotten its own alternative currency.

The alternative currency I had heard a lot about was Berkshares. Berkshares is a local currency for the Berkshire region in Western Massachusetts.  It’s intended to encourage people to shop locally and works just like cash in over 400 establishments in the Berkshires.  It’s a very interesting way to actually see how shopping locally keeps money in the community.

Turns out, however, that Jumbo Cash is simply the Tufts debit card. It’s sort of an expanded meal card. The Jumbo Cash card is now accepted at more than 20 local off-campus stores and restaurants.

Jumbo Cash – convenient but not world changing.
