Our good friend Brock Parker wrote an article in The Boston Globe about the upcoming transition along Route 2 on the edges of the Alewife wildlife area:

Excerpt: "Cambridge officials have approved a long-awaited makeover for the dilapidated “Faces” discotheque site along Route 2.

The Planning Board approved a special permit Tuesday for Criterion Development Partners to build a four-story, 227-unit apartment building on the site of the run-down old club near the Alewife MBTA stop."
