I'm generally more at home in the country than on city streets but Moody Street in Waltham Massachusetts is fun fun fun.
Have you ever been there? Did you enjoy it?
Article on Moody Street I couldn't fit it into the article, but I also enjoy kayaking on the nearby Charles River. There is a kayak/canoe rental company right on the river and that adds alot of traffic and turns kayaking into a more social affair.
Maybe it's because I bring the dog, but I always end up meeting and chatting with people on the Charles.
