Cajun comfort comes to South End: Bootleg Special

by Anna Ing

High School friends and co-owners Chris Young and Stephen Chan opened their South End eatery Bootleg Special, a southern crawfish joint with a nod to the French Quarter. We went there to check out their dine-in only weekend brunch, available on Saturdays and Sundays from 11am to 2:30pm. Located at the edge of South End by Mass Pike, upon entry you see a large, deep dining room. The setup transports you into a New Orleans-like space with chandeliers and a […]

The first Chinese restaurants in Cambridge

by Richard Auffrey

The first Chinese restaurants in Boston’s Chinatown appeared during the 1880s, but when did the first Chinese restaurant appear across the river, in Cambridge? It appears their first Chinese restaurant was not established until June 1902, with the opening of the Harvard Chinese Restaurant. It was located at 527 Massachusetts Avenue, on the second floor of the building, and employed only three people: a Chinese cook and two Chinese waiters. The Cambridge Chronicle, June 28, 1902, noted that it possessed two dining […]

Concerns of air pollution increase

by Jacqueline Church

The tease of fresh, sweet air during the early pandemic still lingers in recent memory. With no cars on the road, residents could literally taste the clean air we had not known we were missing. Now, the unexplained rerouting of Logan International Airport traffic trailing exhaust, obliterates the last vestiges of hope that we might have taken advantage of the pandemic’s pause to create a better “new normal”, and enjoy a more robust set of initiatives to improve air quality […]

Dare to dream: the 2020 census

by Benjamin Zhao

An Asian, according to the Census Bureau, is described quite broadly as, “A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent.” The 2020 census has shown an increasing number of Asian Americans. Since the 2000s, the Asian population has been the fastest growing race in America. According to Pew Research Center, in 2000, the Asian population in America was at 10.5 million, but by 2019, that number had jumped […]

The rise of STEM

by Yan Yan

The Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics fields (otherwise known as STEM) is projected to grow at a rate 1.2x faster than non-STEM related ones through 2024. With the median STEM salary being 2x higher, and opportunities across the U.S. multiplying, it is no wonder the STEM field is so desirable. For many, engagement in STEM is starting at a younger and younger age, as parents and children alike experience the benefits of becoming comfortable around STEM subjects, such as problem […]

New Josiah Quincy Upper School plans for fall

by Shira Laucharoen

The development of the new Josiah Quincy Upper School building is on schedule. The construction of the facility on Washington Street will mark a milestone for the school’s community, as students and teachers have been in temporary spaces, which did not accommodate the school’s growing needs, for a long time. While some community members have expressed concerns about the usage of the site and how building will impact the environment, they have also stated that it is important for students […]

Ongoing Struggles in Massachusetts Childcare

by Moninisha Yadav

When the COVID-19 pandemic took the U.S. by storm in March 2020, we saw nationwide shutdowns of nearly every type of establishment. This included schools and child care centers, leaving child care providers out of work, and parents to adapt by either working from home, leaving a job, or trying to get their child involved in Zoom classes. Now, as Fall approaches a year later, schools are preparing to go back, and parents are returning to in-person work, bringing back […]
