Trying to find a good vibe and people to watch with! Where should I go? Somerville Cambridge area would be preferred! Anybody looking to watch?

The red card business with trump and corrupt fifa is bs but I am not gonna let trump take away an amazing World Cup!

We went to see the fireworks from Memorial Drive last night - stunning as always (and the drone show was amazing), but I was surprised to not be able to see or listen to the fireworks music or Pops concert. Kinda disappointing. I tried to live stream but as it got more crowded I didn't have enough cell bandwidth to stream.

I guess maybe the lack of speakers has been true for a few years but I haven't made it over there for a few years.

Is there any push to get speakers back on the Cambridge side of the river for future years?

Anyone know what happened?

To the guy and his group at the Cambridge side of the fireworks who tied flimsy chairs to the railing and then showed up five minutes before the show: that was unbelievably entitled.
People had been standing there, waiting, holding their spots like normal human beings. You don’t get to reserve public space with empty chairs, disappear for hours, and then barge in at the last minute like you own the railing. Pushing through people, arguing, and acting like everyone else was wrong for existing near your “reserved” chairs was just obnoxious.
It’s a public event. If you want a good spot, show up and stay there. Don’t leave furniture as a placeholder and then bully your way back in right before the fireworks start.
Cambridge fireworks were great. That behavior was not.

hi all, for an incoming freshman from Southern California, I’d love some advice on clothes for adapting to winters in Cambridge.

I have two main questions: shoes and legs

for shoes, do people wear water proof trail shoes or do you need full-on Sorel-type boot?

for legs, I’d guess just jeans and long underwear will get you soaked. any advice on pants for Boston winters?

thanks very much!

Wife and I have the holiday off and feel like we are rotting inside. No rich friends with lake/beach houses or outdoor space to grill. Honestly, we don’t have many friends here, period. What’s a young couple to do? Could go with/without drinking. Down to swim, watch World Cup, literally anything. Anything popping in Cambridge today?

Cambirdge and CPD seem perfectly happy to let a mini Charles River level firework display go go for past 30 minutes. Even after two calls to 911. It’s unbelievable and truly maddening.

Any recommendations on best place to park in order to see the Boston Pops Concert and Fireworks around the MIT Campus? My wife and I would rather not take the T if possible.

Hi Cambridge! I’m looking for a watch party/bar/ coffee shop to watch the Canada Morocco game surrounded by other fans! Any leads? I’m near Allston atm, and thinking Cambridge / downtown are the best bets!
