We want to hear your stories!

We want to honor and celebrate the businesses and cultures that have made East Cambridge the thriving, diverse neighborhood that it is today. The City of Cambridge, in partnership with the East Cambridge Business Association, is gathering stories of East Cambridge from past and present business owners and local residents.

The goal of this project is to develop a set of recommendations for physical or digital markers that will commemorate events or memories like yours.
STORY TYPE: What kind of story would you like to share?
To start, please pick a category below that most closely aligns with your story.
WHAT: Briefly describe your memory.
(Example: I went to Zina's for the first time after attempting to cut my own hair. One side was 6 inches longer than the other. I thought it was edgy!)
WHEN: Briefly describe yourself when this memory occurred.
(Example: I was a 12-year old kid and it was 2005.)
WHO: Tell us more about who you were with.
(Example: My sister took me.)
WHY: Tell us why this memory stuck with you!
(Example: Little did I know, this would be the first of many more trips to Zina's... going on 20 years of haircuts there!)
