Don't Spend a Dime

We’re a few days from “official” summer, but there are already plenty of things happening outdoors in the Boston area. And while we love a good Red Sox game or concert at the Pavilion, there are tons of ways to take advantage of summer without spending a dime. From free music, to lectures, to movies and more, Boston has a plethora of free events worth checking out. As local residents of Cambridge and Somerville, who adore the communities we live and work in, we'd like to share a few of our favorite events.

WHAT is that SMELL???

We've all had the unpleasant experience of walking into our home and thinking, what died in here? There are several reasons you could have a strange odor, and the source is not always obvious. We strongly recommend you never ignore a strong smell as it could be a sign of a bigger problem. Here is a list of 6 scents that should alert your senses to investigate.

Happenings

River Festival is Back!

The Cambridge Arts River Festival takes place this Saturday, June 21, along the banks of the Charles River. This free festival features music, theater, dance, poetry, food trucks, artisans, and more. Don't miss the ever-popular mermaid parade!

Proud of Pride

We hope you made it out on Saturday for the Pride Parade, but if you didn't, there are still plenty of days left to celebrate our LGBTQ+ friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors! Look for events near you or just give someone—or yourself—a big, supportive, hug. By the way, our favorite event is the Big Gay Dance Party in Somerville.
