To Whom it May Concern:

With the election behind us, I’m not sure whom, if anyone, would prefer their name to be removed from this circulation. Please let me know and I will be sure to do so. That said, it is my sincere hope everyone on this list will support Cobble Hill Apartment’s desire to have the City cancel their plans to place a new fire and police station at 90 Washington Street, and find a more appropriate location instead.

Last week, a Somerville Police officer traveling on Artisan Way observed a parked, running vehicle obstructing the crosswalk adjacent to Kay Jewelers located at 360 Artisan Way.

The officer knew this location to be a common place for a getaway vehicle to wait when committing a theft in one of the adjacent stores.

Life in the Ville by JimmyDel Ponte

As you all know by now, this is the place where we talk about the old days while dealing with progress. All I do is gather memories and share them. My job is pretty easy. I try to keep the memories of our past alive. I love being that person who shared these memories and nostalgic commentary.
