We want to honor and celebrate the businesses and cultures that have made East Cambridge the thriving, diverse neighborhood that it is today. The City of Cambridge, in partnership with the East Cambridge Business Association, is gathering stories of East Cambridge from past and present business owners and local residents.

The goal of this project is to develop a set of recommendations for physical or digital markers that will commemorate events or memories like yours.
