How would you describe Somerville in the 1980s?I thought it was the best place.
How would you describe Somerville today?Trendy. Especially the Davis Sq. area. It has grown into a hot spot. It is amazing how different it all is.
How has Somerville changed?It has. With the T and all the colleges in the area, it has grown. Personally, I don't know for better or worse.
I can't believe the McDonald is not the big place it use to be. That place was a childhood memory as well as many of the old stores that were in Davis Square. I am so glad to see that these tiles are still around today. I remember thinking how cool I was to have my art work inside the train station....29 years later...wow!
