Cambridge being a suburb is like calling Brooklyn a suburb of NYC.
It's just a technicality of Boston not eating all the surrounding small cities like most larger cities eventually did.
The peninsula in The Bay is decidedly suburban - but it is sandwiched between two of the biggest cities in the US.
- ghaff 3y agoI didn't mean to imply Cambridge was a suburb. (Hence Boston/Cambridge or really Boston/Cambridge/Somerville.) Cambridge also didn't have significant technology companies--as opposed to universities--in the late 90s.
