Homesick for an Inman Square sandwich shop
By adamg - 5/26/11 - 11:10 amErin is now in DC, but still pines for the All Star Sandwich Bar in Inman Square - so much so that when she checked out their specials from afar the other day, she was forced to make her own version of one of them:

And to think I saw it on Cambridge Street
By adamg - 8/6/09 - 7:42 amHey, what's say we block off part of Inman Square and turn it into a tropical wildlife refuge for a week? Wouldn't that be cool?
... Temporarily closing the street allows it to be transformed into a dense, urban jungle, with large trees which create a virtually impenetrable maze of greenery. A series of bridges and viewing platforms will connect the rooflines of the North and South side of Cambridge Street, zig-zaging across the street, allowing pedestrians to walk amongst the tree tops, looking and experiencing the jungle first hand. This truly unique experience will emphasize the "one-of-a-kind" spirit of Inman Square. ...
Such as, say, observing roaming tigers from the roof of the hardware store.
