Cambridge
Now that I've lived here for some time I've come to realize that there is a lot more to do. For one we just built a new community center (which I won't spend a lot of time on because I know that Craig has already covered that), or if you're religious there are all sorts of youth groups through out the town, or there is always the ever popular Target and Wal-Mart hang out spots. Sporting events are HUGE in small towns such as this, football games on friday nights in the fall, basketball games in the winter and of course baseball all fall. Coffee shops are prosperous in Cambridge there's Coffee Ambrosia with their ever famous snowmen, or Cafe Caffine with delicious smoothies.
Otherwise if none of those are really for you, you could travel just a few miles further out of town and hit up Isanti's bowling alley, Rendezvous Coffee (sometimes offering both delicious drinks and live music!) and numerous parks (perfect for sledding in the winter).
Although no town is perfect Cambridge and Isanti strive to keep the best for their students. The city offers a lot more than initially percieved to try and deter drug use throughout the community. So if you've never taken a good look at Cambridge, stop and take a look around. It's not so bad.
Way to stick up for C-town! This was very well written and you had a lot of elements that make a blog interesting, like pictures and referring to another blog (mine!). Great job Julie!

I like the narrative approach you take in this blog, describing your progression from your first impressions of the town to your more positive assessment of it today -- it's like a comment on the fact that community does not always immediately reveal itself, but often only takes shape for those who spend time looking for it.
ReplyDeleteI also especially like the addition of photos to the post. They are nice pictures in themselves, but also really complement what you've written.
Enjoyed your post---you packed in lots of info. The photos also added a wonderful element.
ReplyDeleteI liked the use of photo imagery.
ReplyDeleteYeah Cambridge is a smaller town, but it's growing.
ReplyDeleteNice post. I liked that you listed everything fun to do in Cambridge - now if ever I’m in the area I’ll know exactly what to do to keep myself occupied!
ReplyDeleteI like your pictures. They work good with the message
