I seem to recall seeing a T-shirt or card or postcard a few years back with a "Somerville tree" image and phrasing on it - the lovely display of power lines we all know and love. Does anyone have a lead on where I can find something like this, if it still exists (if it ever did)? I want to send to someone about to move here from NM desert.

I Googled it and found this collection of links (http://www.somervillevoices.org/2008/04/04/contests/somerville-tree-photo-contest/).

I have the postcard. It's from 1999 and reads, "The official Tree of Somerville, Massachusetts" and features the iconic photo of a utility pole with several power line affixed to it. It was a postcard put out by SCAT.

a genuine Somerville Tree would be a double pole (or maybe even triple), though.
