A city of squares on the Red Line
Cambridge’s frontline work follows its squares. Harvard Square and Central Square are full of restaurants, cafés, bars and shops, Inman Square has bakeries, markets and restaurants, and Kendall Square adds hotels and places to eat among its lab and office buildings. CambridgeSide, near Lechmere, is the indoor shopping mall.
Healthcare work is at Mount Auburn Hospital near Harvard Square, Cambridge Hospital on Cambridge Street, and the nursing homes on Concord Avenue by Fresh Pond. The Porter Square Shopping Center and the plazas on Alewife Brook Parkway have supermarket and store jobs. Warehouses are rare in Cambridge; for those, look over the Somerville line, in the Inner Belt.
The Red Line ties the city together, stopping at Kendall/MIT, Central, Harvard, Porter and Alewife, and the Green Line stops at Lechmere. Buses fill the gaps: the 1 runs down Massachusetts Avenue, the 69 along Cambridge Street, and the 83 links Porter, Inman and Central Squares.
