Boston.com visits Davis Square - video report

[ron_newman]

Two young Boston Globe reporters visited Davis Square last month and made this 3 1/2 minute video, which is currently displayed on the Boston.com front page.

Local businesses featured in this video: Cibeline, Diesel Cafe, Magpie, Kickass Cupcakes, and the Somerville Theatre. (Compare with this TurnHere.com video from last year.)

Boston.com still isn't hip enough to accept blog comments, so you'll have to leave them here instead.

EDIT 3/21/08: The Boston.com video link has stopped working. Try this one instead.

Are they actually supposed to be pros or is that some sort of user-submitted thing? Because it really felt like the latter.

Those are two Globe reporters, Courtney Hollands and Meredith Goldstein.

Hey Ron -- I was reading the Davis Square Livejournal with my one-year-old in my lap, and she started signing "bicycle" -- a sign I didn't even know she'd picked up, but it was pretty clear. I couldn't figure out why for a minute, and then it dawned on me what she saw. :)

Hollands is a boston.com producer. She updates the webpage and the style blog. I worked with her over there for a while.
