Applying for affordable housing opportunities can be a daunting and time-consuming process that can prevent those most in need of below market units from accessing them, so the City of Somerville is working to make the process easier with a new Consolidated Waitlist. The list will allow one application to be filed for all eligible upcoming affordable rental housing opportunities rather than requiring individual applications for each project.

Life in the Ville by Jimmy Del Ponte

The small, aluminum diner is at 113 Washington St. A deceased friend of mine lived next door and we met there for good eats. It was built in 1930 and is on the Somerville historical register.

I asked my social media friends to share their comments about Buddy’s diner.
