    "Local dog parks are very nice . Even walking around on sidewalks it’s a nice place. Usually nothing blocking the way on sidewalks. Well maintained (besides the snow) not much we can do about that "

    "The new MBTA extension will pass through it making it easier for commuters to and from the area into Boston or Medford. It's still a diverse cultural experience with a grand Brazilian shop and other smaller shops (including the reliable market, that's been there for almost 40 years), to give the Square flair and connect many of its diverse residents. I also love the memories I have here, including the Dunkin Donuts that's still there. I also enjoy the convenience of getting into Boston through it."
