On December 1, Cambridge residents can start renewing their resident parking permits, and for the first time since 2013, the price is going up, from $25 to $75. Though this may seem like a large increase, the true price was never really $25. Rather, neighbors without cars were paying part of the difference.

New England's Most Famous College Town Is Home To 'The Ugliest Building In America'

New England is famous for its fall foliage, Colonial architecture, and institutions of higher education. Massachusetts, in particular, is a major post-secondary hub. It's home to the Five Colleges of the Pioneer Valley, the colleges of greater Boston, and Cambridge, which is home to Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). MIT is considered one of the most prestigious schools in the United States, and has been located at its current campus since 1916, amassing an impressive collection of buildings designed by famous architects like I.M. Pei, Eero Saarinen, and Frank Gehry. One that has attracted controversy is Simmons Hall, an undergraduate residence hall that won the 2025 Aesthetic Atrocity Award for "the ugliest building in America." Bestowed by The Architectural Uprising, an international group of architects and urbanists in favor of traditional architecture, the nod is meant to raise awareness of what they deem the blight of Modernism.

As a native of the greater Boston area, I’ve been to all three bakeries too many times to count! As a kid, I never really thought to compare all three bakeries in respect to one popular dessert—the cannoli. Today, I’ll break down each bakery’s cannolis based on creativity of flavors, presentation and, of course, taste.
