...INMAN SQUARE, WHICH IS MADE UP OF SMALLER SUB-SQUARES (SUCH AS David I. Calnin Square and Roger Reddick Square) spreading out from a fire station, is really just a stretch of Cambridge St. where Hampshire St. crosses. Not as busy as many other squares in Cambridge, this spot on the edge of Cambridge near the Somerville city line prides itself on being a `neighborhood square.' In fact, Inman is as far from cosmopolitan Boston as Tewksbury. The only thing that draws one back into the city is the view of the Prudential Center looming in the background. Here...

Inman Square has perhaps the best variety per square foot in the Boston area. A progressive dinner offers the easiest immersion in Inman's culinary culture. Starting with oysters on the half-shell ($8 to 12) at East Coast Grill, a great next step is to move on to a noodle dish ($9 to 13) at Cafe China. An entree ($12 to 20) at Magnolia...
...pickup out of a red clay ditch." Fareek is also a local Atlanta boy who climbed to fame from a poor black neighborhood. And he has now been accused, though not yet formally charged, of date rape by the daughter of one of Atlanta's most powerful white businessmen, Inman Armholster, who happens to be Charlie Croker's closest friend...
