The Rock

16 Sargent Street

Nickname: Named after Sargeant Rock of comic book fame.

Walking Distance from the Green: Ten minutes.

Distinguishing Characteristic: Decidedly "earthy" atmosphere.

The Advantange: Associated with the Cabin & Trail branch of the Outing Club since the midseventies, the Rock overflows with old signs from the Appalachian Trail.

The Disadvantage: Town-gown relations at their worst. (Neighboring "civilians" don't appreciate "college life.")

Summer 1999 twist: Inhabitants run a bike shop out of the basement. They "often fix up the neighbors' bikes in order to appease their frequent police complaints."
