Seems that there are way too many Protlanders who've left the area
and become expats, and RnR has to close. Consequently, the yuppies
are moving in.

For shame, sleurB kciK. . . For shame. . .

Thought I was one of the filthy yuppies moving out!

ObBeer: Turns out they will have their second annual (heh)
casked beer fest this weekend. No idea what beers will be
featured. Anyone? Dr. H? Baldy? (As if they're not sock
puppets of each other!)

Yeah, a lot of store fronts in Harvard Square Cambridge became banks.
The first thing you see when you come out of the subway. And guess
what? Foot traffic has *dramatically* fallen off in the area in the
past 5 years, and many once-thriving shops are now closed and empty.
It's shocking how comparatively empty the whole area has become, and how
much retail square footage of retail. They killed the golden goose,
after raping it first.
