From 1993. Many of the stores and landmarks mentioned here have since gone the way of all flesh.




Cambridge

Cambridge is a million yellow paperbacks
is tall coffee and a blueberry muffin
at Au Bon Pain in winter


Cambridge is the Book Case closed for good

 

Cambridge is the Omphalos sculpture


is the steps of the Widener Library
is street musicians in summer       is Central Square
is the Druid Pub in Inman (I've never been)

 

Cambridge is the Yard in winter
Cambridge is the Coop
is Schoenhof's Foreign Books       is Baskin-Robbins


is both storeys of WordsWorth       is Caffe Avventura
is Lee's Sandwich Stop       is Cardullo's
is John F. Kennedy Park

A very evocative piece, recalling the stores and landmarks long gone. Nicely done!

So interesting, to have the evocation of another Cambridge, as mine is in England; and I hope not all of the landmarks and stores have no gone.
