The coolest kid at the union stand out

PS, if you live in Somerville, contact the mayor and your elected officials, and ask them to get the SMEA union a fair wage and a fair contract

Attended a memorial today for a soldier who died in 1775. Unknown British soldier who was killed in the walk back from Concord and Lexington.

British Consul was there, and former mayor Dorothy Kelly Gay is next to him.

Also, a segment for the #CivilWar soldiers.

A memorial service for the Civil War veterans, next to what is claimed to be the first monument dedicated to the Civil War servicemen. Three rows of veterans stand with a flag of the state of MA, and former mayor Gene Brune prepares to place the wreath. Lawrence Willwerth reads the memorial service text at the front.

Well, they used to be windows.

Every now and then when you go by United Divers Inc. in #SomervilleMA, you might see someone on a stepladder painting new undersea #murals.

Nice piece about the musician who plays often at the #SomervilleTheater, accompanying the #SilentFilm shows. He's terrific, I've been to many.

If #Boston area folks are looking for #HeatPump pricing, some local hero has gotten quotes from 20 contractors.

I cannot vouch for this person, but I 💚 anyone who loves data this much.

#SomervilleMA residents beg city for development....

My housemate's summary: "Residents living near Gilman Square are angry after seeing no development since 2014. Residents living near the old Star Market, who have seen no development since 2007, say “Hold my beer.” "

I have found a fire-breathing dragon in the neighborhood.

I hope it solves the rat problem....

#SomervilleMA

An inflatable black dragon, with orange dorsal spikes and an orange belly, has an illuminated red piece that appears to flame out of the mouth as it rustles with the compressed air. Over to the right side around the corner of the house are more scary action inflatables.

this is just too much. a week after the T announced they'd fixed the dangerously narrow tracks on the Union and Medford branches of the Green Line....

... they're now saying 80% of the Medford branch's tracks and 50% of the Union branch's tracks are still too narrow and need to be redone.

the T is an embarrassment. an embarrassment we rely on every day.

Sirens in/around #davissquare all day. Doesn’t seem like one big event but four or five times throughout the day. Any insights as to what’s going on #somervillema or @universalhub ?

For f**ks sake. CVS cancelled my COVID booster appointment again. Last time it was 24 hours before, this time it's like... 2.
Different CVS branch - same useless outcome. What the hell?
