A Love Note to the Cambridge Boathouse
January 16, 2025
Host of the annual Head of the Charles Regatta, the Cambridge Boathouse has been in my Cambridge life for decades. I go past it regularly on my walking route. I have been to all kinds of celebrations there. It is a Cambridge icon.
On Saturday night, it was the site of a bittersweet event. An Olympic Women’s Rower who lived at Riverview arranged a celebration there for all (former) residents.
Wine and delicious food appeared. Some who lived at Riverview for 50+ years were there, one who broke into tears as he spoke to us. One woman who bought a unit, but never got to move in before the evacuation, was there. All the concierge staff, who lovingly took care of us attended. Our sometimes gruff, but always wonderful building staff was there. It was a love fest.
A goodbye love fest
Will you not be returning to Riverview?
I am sorry.

A beautiful place for a celebration and remembrance. I love that building as well, and watching the rowers on a warm summer day.
