The festival kicks off this Friday at the Nave Annex, and then makes it's way around town to the Nave Gallery, Somerville Museum, Washington Street Arts Center and Brickbottom Art Gallery.

Green line extension

I keep hearing that the Green Line will be extended in Somerville in the next few years, but I haven't heard anything more specific.

Can you point me to something official that says when this will happen? Is there a date planned for the Union Square station ground-breaking? How about the rest of the route?

And is there anything that could get in the way (e.g., not enough funding from the state)? Thank you.
