Local links and mailing lists
Today there was an interesting talk on the history of the Mystic River at the Somerville Museum. If I hadn't been on the Historic Somerville mailing list, I might not have heard of it. I found out about that once on a walking tour.
It reminded me of a conversation I had with someone at Blue Cloud Gallery recently. We were saying that it seemed like there were a whole bunch of mailing lists, and resources of local stuff to do, talks to hear, historic tours, studios, shows and openings, and possibly neighborhood lists or blogs, that you just don't know about except almost by accident.
I know there are links to some local sites on the DSLJ, but I'm wondering if we could create a discussion of good lists we are currently on, with locally relevant activity stuff, that might not be widely known. Good twitter accounts to know about. Facebook pages to know about. I feel like I'm missing stuff.
Feel free to flog your own blogs/lists/whatever. I'm not on Facebook, maybe everything happens there. Or if this kind of list exists somewhere else point me to it.
(I do wish some of the groups were better or more consistent at outreach via blogs/forums/twitter/etc too.)

Zero current events, but it's fun to see how the city used to look.
