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.
Cambridge Science Festival
Don't Miss the Cambridge Science Festival
From Cambridge’s schools, to Cambridge businesses and local museums there’s a wealth of scientific talent in town. Much of it is on display this week at the 4th annual Cambridge Science Festival.
The festival opened on Saturday and daily events continue through Sunday, May 2, 2010. The lineup is truly amazing with plenty of free events and some that charge admission.
For adults and for kids – you’ll find lots to do every day through Sunday. Many Cambridge schools have science fairs scheduled this week with students’ projects on exhibit. Each weekday there’s a Lunch With a Laureate where you can brownbag it and have lunch and chat with a Nobel Prize winner. All week long you can participate in a Rock the World Treasure Hunt with clues placed around Cambridge based on geology questions. Your first clue is at Lesley’s University Hall at 1815 Mass Ave.
Here are some of my favorites on the schedule this week. All are free except where noted:
- Science Trivia Challenge. Teams compete in a Jeopardy-like test of general science knowledge. Kirsch Auditorium at the MIT Stata Center, 32 Vassar Street, Cambridge. Wednesday, 6 – 9 pm.
