This would be more accurately entitled "The 10 Most Self-Congratulatory and Self-Promoting Things I love about Cambridge/Somerville and My Life. Plus the Public Garden."

The titular city to which your blog makes passing reference is loaded with wonders which likely escape your self-centered universe.

Enjoy.

A True Bostonian
