Central Square

Central Square is a rapidly changing neighborhood. Once known as one of the edgier areas of Cambridge, it still maintains a certain gritty character. However, it is slowly being transformed by a burgeoning upscale restaurant and bar scene, biotech and technology start-up offices, and live music and theater venues. Some lament the gentrification of the area, while other embrace it’s new shiner face.
