The splits and divisions between neighborhoods have healed at least a little from the day when the snooty residents of Old Cambridge asked that they be officially separated from East Cambridge and Cambridgeport. Corruption, patronage and inefficiency, at times the hallmark of city government, have given way to an administration more professional and more competent.
