For my map I started by drawing what to me is Cambridge’s defining feature, the Charles River. From there I added the bridges which I row under every day, and the intersection of JFK and Memorial (the arteries I use to walk to practice). I added Mt. Auburn to the north, and then Mass Ave…the rest of the streets were a bit of a struggle. I began to fill in the locations of the coffee shops I frequent, Peet’s, Dunkin, Starbucks. I can easily imagine the surroundings of these locations. Restaurants next, Cambridge 1, Border Café, Beat Hotel, Felipes. I have spent much time looking out the windows of these establishments. Next I filled in what it outside my window, Winthrop House and the MAC quad. It was harder for me to remember the exact layout of the yard and Mass ave, my home base of three years ago. Additionally, the area west of the Charles Hotel, to which I rarely venture was difficult to map out.
