gas companies for Winter Hill

[adrian-turtle.livejournal.com]

I am planning to move into an apartment in Winter Hill, and I'm really looking forward to being so close to Davis. The place has gas heat, which we have to pay for. NStar says they provide both gas and electric service in Somerville, but it would only set up electric service for me at the new address.

NStar says they don't have time to respond to phone calls because they are so busy dealing with winter storms, so I don't know if they only provide gas service to West Somerville, and there's some other company that does Winter Hill. Or if they just can't imagine me as a gas customer, after so many years of only buying electricity from them. Or if there is actually a problem with the building I'm about to move into.

Any ideas?

Winter Hill is near Davis Square? Well, I guess if you're comparing to Newton, or Nashua, or New York...

Winter Hill is near Davis Square?

Yes. I can walk there in 20 minutes. I live in Arlington now, and my future housemate lives in Lexington.

you must have incredible walking speed. gmaps says davis to winter hill (a point on school st. between medford st. and broadway) is 33 minute walk (1.7 miles). i live on the near side of winter hill (about a mile from davis) and it still takes me 25 minutes. my definition of "near" for walking is a half-mile or less.

just calibrating for future readers who are doing the real estate dance and are being told ...extensions... of the truth by local real estate agents.

It takes me about a half hour to walk from Davis Square to my synagogue at the top of Winter Hill. Trying to do that in 20 minutes would involve a lot of running (some of it uphill).
