So which Kennedy Institute dignitary is visiting Cambridge today?

A correspondent submits a copy of e-mail about security-related road closures in Cambridge starting this morning: Main Street will be shut from Portland to Vassar, as will Albany Street. Pedestrians are also verboten on Main and Albany. The roads are scheduled to re-open at 3 p.m.

Maybe the First Couple and Joe Biden at Area Four?

Longfellow work operations have to be suspended from 11 - 3 as well...

The President. I saw that on the news last night, and ugh...why did I not remember before I left for work???!

It isn't exactly a main street. Good pick to close it.

Is Obama visiting the MIT Museum?

I have a feeling this is related to the MIT reactor at Mass Ave and Albany. Every few months they do something there that requires a heavy police presence (not sure what exactly - removing or replacing fuel?)

Nope. Main Street, not Mass Ave.

...O'Reilly back again (he was wandering around the tailgate area at the Harvard Yale Game in the Fall) & we all know how he likes to think he's in a war zone

He should have a charity boxing match against Brian Williams.

That would be entertaining.

Area Four, typically open on Mondays for lunch warns guests on twitter: "Reminder: Cafe is closed today. And no lunch service. Fear not, we're open for dinner!" So that seems promising for VIP-watchers.

What you thought Adam was unbiased?

Ahem yourself, kind sir.

Reagan, later to be copied by Clinton went to the Eire Pub in Dorchester. Obama goes to Area 4 in Cambridge. Pretty much says it all.

By adamg on Mon, 03/30/2015 - 2:19pm.

You remember how Ronnie went to the Eire and lifted a pint for the cameras and then put it down because he didn't drink, but it wouldn't look manly on TV for him to sip a club soda.

...other than maybe the guy likes Pizza? Or are you insinuating that the President is a Kenyan/Muslim/Socialist because he goes to a restaurant in Cambridge?

By Dot net on Mon, 03/30/2015 - 4:11pm.

Or that the President is a Cambridge/Harvard elitist, rumored to be eating at only the most exclusive of enclaves! $$, two whole Yelp dollar signs.

I guess people coming to Boston can only go to Irish pubs or it says something now? I'm rolling my eyes.

By jojohohanon on Mon, 03/30/2015 - 7:13pm.

fwiw,

Area 4 is some of the best pizza I've had in town. The sausage and banana pepper is a perennial favorite.

The upper crust was a previous favorite, but they managed to piss off pretty much everyone with their labour practices. I'm told that the owners of Area 4 are considerably better in this regard.

By anon on Mon, 03/30/2015 - 4:18pm.

What does it say, I don't understand. That Reagan liked immigrants (all those irish immigrants that hang at the Eire) while Obama likes good old american pizza?

Pretty much says it all.

If O'Bama went for a pint at the Eire, would we ever hear the end of the "how DARE that darky he set foot on our sacred stomping grounds"?

By Dave on Mon, 03/30/2015 - 5:21pm.

Which wards did Obama lose in? Which ones were even a contest?
