How would you describe Somerville today?It's definitely changed. I moved away from Somerville in 1992, so whenever I go back it seems very foreign to me.
How has Somerville changed?Yes... I haven't spent enough time in Somerville since moving away to know if the change is for the better or worse. Probably better, at least for property owners. :-)
