    Which 3 sides? To the North-East of Cambridge is Somerville. To the North is Arlington, to the West is Belmont and Watertown. Boston is basically only to the South-East.

      I just meant the way the Charles River kinda dips down and makes a little Cambridge nub. Especially because Charlestown and the Airport are technically part of Boston

      It’s all Boston. I’m from Jersey, and half my state gets lumped in with NYC, so Boston, in my mind, subsumes the likes of Cambridge and Somerville. And it’s been almost two years since my last trip to Boston, but they may as well be part of Boston.

        The movie isn’t about you, it’s about Chuckie and Will, and their relationship to the city. For them it isn’t all Boston.

          Oh, I totally agree with that. I guess I thought we had gotten away from the movie and had moved on to a pointless discussion about municipal boundaries.
