The ssa.gov website is very useful, all the information is there. Parking was the only pain, there are two hour parking spots in front of the office but its limited. We couldn't find any meters around; lots of off street parking with no signs other than tow zone area but people still parked there which was confusing, 9:07 check in ( there's a touch screen machine to get your number and check in). 9:20 called my number 9:28 done!!! I thought it went by pretty quickly and it was very efficient. Offices are opened at 9am so I would suggest just arriving exactly at 9 so you don't have to wait too long. In case you didn't know: there is no fee for changing your name here.

With that being said I am astounded with how professional and courteous the people in this office are. Not once was I scowled at, shunned, talked down to, or otherwise harassed during my brief visit here. In fact I was served promptly after being greeted with a polite hello and smile from the two women working the front desks. The waiting area is awfully small which seemed a wee bit overambitious but luckily I never had a chance to sit down. The woman who helped me with my air conditioner disposal needs was nice, patient, and clear in what I had to do even outlining a plan for getting my money back should someone take it for scrap in the night. I respect that. This may well be the best government experience I've ever had. Fast, courteous, and stress-free. I think that's worth Yelping about.

Walked in the office and talked to their front desk representative and was told to go online.

Went back to this office again and the front desk representative didn't even give me anytime of the day to explain my situation, all I got is her rudely saying "go online".

Applying & renewing permits for businesses is anything but simple and straightforward. I've opened stores across the US and dealt with all kinds of permits throughout different jurisdictions. The online portal that City of Cambridge uses is one of the most intuitive and smooth user platform I've experienced. I was able to renew all permits online quickly and easily. One can communicate with the inspectors on there as well without going through all the hassle of chasing down someone through the phone or email. I hope City of Boston catches on to this soon! Thank you City of Cambridge!!!

It's obvious my math skills are extremely sharp and since I am so smart I should hang with others just as brilliant as me. I head off to the Harvard Business School to hang out with my fellow Mensa peers and spend an entire afternoon in the library. For five hours I sat in here on a hot, humid and rainy day in July of 2009. This was the perfect escape from my boring hotel room down the road and the prime spot to get my blood flowing and drill through spreadsheets and crumpled faxes and get some serious work done. I don't know what it is, but the wifi here seems just a bit faster than most. For a library, it is well lit and plenty of hidden nooks to sit in complete privacy and pretend you are in your final semester of your Ivy League MBA education. I may not be a graduate of Harvard, but our school colors are close. They being crimson and we being cardinal, but in the end isn't it just red?
