Or should it be Cambridge/Boston or Medford/Somerville?

2. I once met Howie Winter and Whitey Bulger in Summahville. |
|
Howie owned a bar and had video poker machines in the back room. This was in 1976.
Somerville = Blue collar CXambridge = White collar

6. Cambridge was pretty blue collar too when I was growing up |
|
You're thinking of West Cambridge, where the Brahmins live.
Somerville still has some fun townie bars though. We still go to the Paddock and the Sligo. :-)

10. The Paddock has great food. |
|
If you come back for the DU gathering in April, you should try L'il Vinny's in Magoun Square. The food is wonderful.

23. From one of those kids |
|
If you were one of those college boys who would buy beer for us, as, we high school kids stood outside the packie next to Jumbo's on Broadway or Norton's on Mass Ave (it would depend on which way the police chased us) I say a thousand thanks. The guys drank whatever beer was on sale and the girls mostly drank Reunite Risotto(with the twist off cap)we needed you college types to keep us in beer. The park we hung out in is now Mario's.

4. Poor Medford/Somerville. |
|
I lived on Hawthorn Street in Somerville for a summer. I would pick Boston/Cambridge, too.

8. Somerville is pretty happening these days-and the real estate prices |
|
Oy!
East Somerville is still pretty blue collar. Somerville is progressive with great bars and restaurants. it's come a long way.
You would not recognize Davis Square, and the apartment you probably lived in on Hawthorne Street would probably sell for 450K.

11. They were digging Davis Square's T station when I lived there. |
|
Somerville's Big Dig. I probably would have felt much better about the place if the T had made it out that far then.

12. I was in high school and early college then |
|
Somerville was scary back then. My best friend in HS grew up on Willow Ave near Davis Sq. It was very townie.

18. It's a dirty job, but somebody's gotta do it |
|
Voting for Somerville, that is.
I've lived here 20 years. Some day I'll tell you my Vinnie Piro stories.

I highly, highly recommend Bukowski's on Dalton Street, off Boylston, as the place to go. I know all the bartenders so we will be treated well, the food is good, there is a parking garage right next door, and they have 120 different kinds of beer.

26. Good Memories of Willoughby Street |
|
in Somerville. Most populated city per capita in Massachusetts. Two of my best buds were my housemates on Willoughby St.
I loved Davis Sq too. Bones is still there, I believe; good BBQ.
