Does anyone here go back that far? Some great stuff here. Davis Square proper begins at around the 9:40 mark.

(For whatever reason, the video didn't play in Firefox for me but did in Chrome.)

Thanks for sharing; that's very cool. (Why don't we still have a basketball hoop in Powderhouse Park...? :>)

I wish so badly that Somerville today was what it was back then. Mostly Bostonian born families with a mix of other countries. It's just a city that has been ruined.

Thank you for posting this. It's nice to remember when Somerville was a great place to be!
