M

Welcome back to Cambridge Connections! I'm Mack.

J

And I'm Jack. And we're comin' to ya from... well, technically Somerville, but we can SEE Cambridge from here.

M

(Laughs) That counts! That counts. Now Jack, today we gotta talk about the elephant in the room.

J

Harvard Square.

M

Harvard Square! The place where dreams go to... get a parking ticket.

J

(Laughs) Oh, don't even get me started. So I'm drivin' through there last Tuesday, right? I see a spot. A SPOT, Mack! In Harvard Square!

M

No way.

J

Yes way! I'm like, this is my lucky day. I pull up, I'm doin' the parallel pahk...

M

The parallel pahk. Classic.

J

And I see the sign. It says... 'No Pahking, 7 AM to 7 PM, except Tuesdays after a full moon, unless it's a leap year...'

M

(Laughs) You need a law degree just to pahk there!

J

I'm tellin' ya! And then some kid on a bicycle gives me the stink eye like I'M the problem!

M

That's Harvard Square for ya. You know what I love though? The street performers. You got the guy with the... what's he play, the saw?

J

The musical saw! That guy's been there since we were kids!

M

He's a Cambridge institution. Like Toscanini's. Speaking of which...

J

Oh, here we go.

M

Best ice cream in the world. The New York Times said so!

J

You mention Toscanini's every single episode, Mack.

M

Because it's TRUE! You get yourself a B3 - that's brown butter, brown sugar, brownie - and tell me I'm wrong.

J

(Laughs) I can't, because you're not wrong. Alright folks, if you're gonna brave Harvard Square, here's the deal: take the T, grab some ice cream, and for the love of all that is holy, do NOT try to pahk your cah.

M

Words to live by. This is Cambridge Connections - we'll see ya next time!
