Pieces of Old Cambridge

Back when I was young and growing up in New Jersey, I would go to New York City to visit my uncle in Queens, and he would drive me into Manhattan. Our trips were usually to some obscure corner of Manhattan, and this would take us bumping over old cobblestone streets that hadn't get been paved over. My uncle would extol the virtues of the long-lived cobblestones, compared to the asphalt which was always littered with potholes.

Recently, there has been a lot of construction being done near me on Main Street in Cambridge-- one of the early Cambridge streets along the old horse-carriage line that connected Cambridge to Boston-- and the construction exposed some of the old cobblestones on the corner of Main and Portland:

As far as I've been able to tell in the years I've lived in Cambridge, there aren't any exposed cobblestone streets around. Regarding New York, however, there's a compilation of the old cobblestone streets courtesty of Forgotten New York.
