What is your earliest Somerville memory?

I was 3 1/2 when we moved in and immediately, a little girl from two doors down came to the door and wanted to know if I wanted to play. We've been friends ever since.

How would you describe Somerville in the 1980s?

Awesome.

How would you describe Somerville today?

Very different than when I was growing up. The trees planted on our street are now huge, the high school is done (it was under construction most of the time I attended), the movie theatre at Assembly Square is closed, Good Times in gone, Assembly Square Mall is now an outdoor strip mall, the T goes to Davis Sq., there's a wonderful bike path going through Somerville, and an SHS graduate is now mayor!

How has Somerville changed?

Tremendously...for the better.
