The History of Somerville Lumber event

[serious-noir.livejournal.com]

I have no connection to this event but....

I remember Somerville Lumber. It seemed a warren of connecting rooms... filled with "stuff".
I'd just arrived in Somerville, I don' think Home Depot was here yet (late '90s).

Plus history through a business lense (or any alternate lense) is always interesting.
Would love to see a history of "Lechmere Sales" – the "Best Buy" of my youth...
