...YEARS AGO, The New York Times characterized Cambridge as a traditional Old World city. Since then, however, much of the local flavor has made way for Baskin Robbins's 31 Flavors and other nation-wide chains. The impending John F. Kennedy Library Center on Boylston St. in the present MBTA yard will further transform the Harvard Square area in the next five years. Over a million tourists a year are expected to visit the Kennedy Library. Undoubtedly, streets will have to be rerouted to handle new floods of traffic.

The major jazz spots in Boston are Paul's Mall and the Jazz Workshop, located side by side at 733 Boylston St. about halfway between Auditorium and Copley on the Green Line.

A native of Damascus, Syria, Cahaly came to this country more than 40 years ago and opened a small variety store with three of his brothers on the corner of Boylston and Mt. Auburn Streets. The store changed locations twice before finally coming to rest at its present address of 47 Mt. Auburn St. Cahaly's son John now manages the store. As a final tribute, Cahaly's funeral procession drove down Mt. Auburn St, and stopped briefly in front...
