Anyone have any old photos (pre-1970) of Davis Square?


Does anyone have any photos of Davis Square pre-1970? The Somerville Musuem is looking to borrow such photos (not for an exhibit, but for a fast approaching project they have been asked to help research.) They need the photos within the next week.

The Somerville Museum is located at One Westwood Rd, at the corner of Westwood Rd and Central St.

Anyone have any old photos of the Armory?

Anyone have any old photos of the Armory? I'm helping Arts at the Armory with their collection of photos of the Armory (beyond the usual postcard image) Photos of events or activities that took place on the grounds or inside the building are especially sought; they have plenty of the old postcards of the facade.

Apart from its long military history, the Armory was used for RMV driving tests, bingo games, Somerville's Centennial Ball in 1972, Democratic political rallies in the 1970s, a shelter during the blizzard of 1978, large celebrations, and other activities.

If you have such photos, and can spare them briefly (to be scanned) please contact me at fefie at operamail dot com.

Thanks.

Water Aerobics

Has anyone taken Water Aerobics at the Kennedy School? If so can you provide a review, also do you know if people wear t shirts in the pool? I have looked in the Swimming Tag.

If anyone else has any suggestions of where I can take water aerobics I'd love to hear them.
