Wowwwwwww. Public transit in Somerville is still so fucked that Google maps legit suggests taking a bus from Somernova (on Somerville Ave) out to ARLINGTON and then back out again in order to go to Taco Loco in East Somerville. O.o #somervillema #somerpoli #transit #bus #publictransit

Saw a lot of #somerpoli at Winter Hill this morning to celebrate the demolition of Star Market. Which was great, but we should also acknowledge that a supermarket sitting vacant on Broadway for 17 years is a massive failure.

The questionnaire from SEPAC and responses are also now out! No reply from Burnley Jr, Walles, or Mbah yet, though. I plan to check back here later on, in case there's an update.
