Hi, [livejournal.com profile] dzm! I assume that you are the David Maze whose two photos (of markers #8 and #19H on Boston Ave.) I included on my map.

I found and photographed four other markers on the Tufts campus: #11 and #12 on the west side of Packard Ave, and #13 and #14 on the east side of Curtis Street. Marker #12 is cleverly disguised as one of two 'gate posts' flanking a pedestrian path overlooking the Tufts tennis courts.

I did not find any of the markers west of Tufts. If you know where any of these are, can you reply here? I'd like to add them to my map.

This official City of Somerville map, or something similar to it, is probably what you are seeing on the walls of those pizza delivery joints. If you zoom in far enough, you can see all of the 'CITY BOUND NO. XX" notations. Most, but not quite all, of these are at places where the city boundary turns a corner. The official map does not show the location of marker #3H, which Georgy Cohen found on Albion Street just off Broadway. I'm curious if there are more like that one.
