Looks like I may be moving to Somerville.... *crossing fingers for luck*

I haven't come to an agreement with my potential landlord yet about the place, but if the stars are right, I may be moving to Somerville, to a place on Central Street. That's Union Square, right?

I think it is walking distance from Davis Square, looking at the map, but I don't know the area that well yet, so I was wondering if folks could give me the skinny on different parts of Somerville and what they are like in terms of fun and overall hipness.

I'm a fan of The Burren, but I would love to knwo more about what Union Square would have to offer!

Also what is parking like in that area? Is it difficult to find a parking space to rent?

My SO lives there now, and it's a bit improved. There's a nice little coffee shop, at least one Indian restaurant that's pretty decent, a couple of other restaurants I haven't tried yet, a video rental, a couple of good bars/clubs (especially if you like Latin music)...it's not hip or exciting, but it's not at all bad. I encourage you to wander around and explore the area. There's good stuff in the general vicinity, but it's not as centralized in a Square the way stuff is near Davis or Porter, so it takes a bit more exploring. I'm still learning my way around, myself. Good luck!
