Country Greetings From Fresh Pond, Cambridge

My new place is gorgeous-three floors, a garage, a basement, big windows, light…and just a 10-minute bike ride from my favorite morning coffee haunt. There’s a grocery store nearby, a gym, a Chinese restaurant…I have nice neighbors who like gardening so much that they bought some plants that they take care of in my front yard. When you walk down the street, people actually smile and say “hello.”

Window Shopping at Anthropologie, H Square

Anthropologie, located at 48 Brattle St, Cambridge, MA has taken over the old Design Research building–which has sat almost empty for over a year since Crate and Barrel moved out. The store carries an enticing array of clothing, jewelry, shoes, boots and bags–most items are a bit ornate for my simple tastes but definitely worth a visit if only to see the store’s beautiful and creative arrangements of merchandise.

Eek, mice, please advise, cont.

I live on the fifth floor of a brick building near Harvard Square–and have mice. The building management has given me traps–but these being Cambridge mice, they appear to be outsmarting us. Can you please advise me on what it might cost to seal off a 750 Sq. foot apartment with a living room, bedroom, kitchen, hallway and bathroom?
