Cambridge MA Real Estate

I got into a bit of a rant this afternoon and decided to turn my frustration into resolutions.  Really easy resolutions. Simple things we can all do to make the world a more pleasant place - so we'll all be happier and more serene.  And if we're happier and calmer we probably will be a lot less l...

When I lived in New Hampshire one of my favorite things about winter - and trust me there's not that much I like about winter - were what I call "bush tents" - the structures people build to protect their bushes and shrubs from snow.   In the city you don't really see many bush tents.  So I was d...

My customers and I are never keen on air fresheners when we come across them on tour. They usually don't smell particularly pleasant, often cause headaches, and permeate our clothes so we smell like the air freshener long after we've left the house. But today's collection really took air "freshen...

I was out and about in Cambridge this afternoon taking photos for my blog.  I ran into a colleague, Danny, walking his dog in the neighborhood. Turned out this was a dog with a story to tell.

The Boston Globe ran an AP story in today's paper about  why we want a white Christmas.   Bing Crosby, who firmly implanted the wish and the jingle in our heads, came from Spokane where there's a 70% chance of having snow on the ground on December 25th.   Turns out in Boston there's only a 23% c...

This beautiful tree is in my neighbor's yard.    Unfortunately the last leaf collection is tomorrow morning.  I snapped this in the middle of my marathon raking session this afternoon.   Tomorrow morning I'm going to bandage up my blisters and head out early to see how much more I can get bagged ...

I went to a great CE class this morning on Smart Growth.  The fast paced class, newly offered in our state, went through about twenty ways in which towns and cities in Massachusetts are being encouraged to build in ways that reduces sprawl, encourages walkability, and conserves open land. They we...

I've been obsessed with search engine optimization for months. This rap song is music to my ears. It's actually full of excellent advice - and very catchy to boot.  It's "Page Rank" by SEO Rapper m0serious.  If you click over to youtube and click on "more info" under his name you can read all the...
