Maybe Massachusetts Avenue (Massachusetts) would be a better title for this page? Only one sentence of the article is about Mass Ave in Boston; then it goes into Cambridge, Arlington, Lexington, etc. On the other hand, there may be other Massachusetts Avenues in Massachusetts that aren't connected with the one that starts in Boston. What do you think? AJD 15:35, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

I think Boston makes the most sense, since it is the official starting point, and the capital City. If you say "Massachusetts" it could indeed refer to other roads with that name, in other towns.

I'm pretty sure Massachusetts Ave. Starts in Dorchester, not Roxbury. It is at the intersection of Columbia Ave. in Dorchester. Check out Mapquest. It then goes through the Newmarket District, then Roxbury (until Albany Street),then it becomes South End, Then Back Bay, then Cambridge. xtos 16:11, 24 Oct 2007


[edit] Important Places

Harvard and Porter Squares are listed, but Central and Kendall are not. They are very important and are along mass ave. --Dorazine (talk) 01:31, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

I have doubts that Central Sq. has landmark status, but if there is a consensus to the contrary it would be easy enough to add it to the list. Kendall Sq., on the other hand, is not on Mass. Ave. (though it may seem to be, on account of the Red Line station sequence). Cheers, Hertz1888 (talk) 02:06, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
