Toss in a healthy dose of MIT becoming a shell of its former hacker-self, and Harvard being, well, Harvard, and I'd say Cambridge is the least exciting aspect of the greater Boston area.
Besides the fact that Bostonians are most definitely infatuated with pop culture and hipness. Maybe across the bridge things get more intellectual, but not so you'd notice.
I will say in PG's defense that I've never seen a city more excited about selling you a master's degree as the key to your new future life ; - ) So I suppose they do value education (an brick-for-brick there's probably more post-secondary schools in the area around Boston than almost anywhere else in the U.S. or even the world.).
