From the City to the Suburbs in 3 miles
At 7.13 square miles, the city of Cambridge isn’t especially large, even among the dime-sized municipalities that cluster north of the Charles. But among the more unique features the Enlightened Republic is that in that space it seems to stretch from downtown to the suburbs.
Consider the area out by Fresh Pond and Alfewife. Formerly an abandoned industrial park and a small Boston and Maine rail yard, the area features the solace of the Fresh Pond Reservation, and quick access to the wooded, 13-mile Minuteman Bikeway.
Between the quiet and cul-du-sacs, you might think you were out in the ‘burbs. But it’s still only a quick walk, bike, or drive to a massive shopping center, Route 2, and even the Alewife station T stop, via the little-known Fitchburg Cutoff Trail. Quite a difference from the ultra-modern towers of Kendall Square, is it not?

Dude, isn’t Cambridge considered “the smallest city in America”?
Use your wikipedia.

I am familiar with a number of municipalities claiming this distinction. The most accurate I’ve come across has been Vergennes, VT.
