Hey @cityofsomerville.bsky.social whats up with these gates that appeared at the new Ken Kelly park? The one blocking the ramp seems to make the park completely inaccessible to wheel chair users, and they block a good portion of the sidewalk when open.

Listening in tonight on the meeting about the Teele Square Hotel Project aka the Teele Square Pit.

Major updates from previous designs: 8 stories instead of 6, restaurant facing the street instead of hotel lobby, also a restaurant with a roof deck on top.

It’s spring which means it’s time for rosé on the porch, gardening, and ice cream!

Honestly bring back whatever this is. Look what they’ve taken from us! Reject modernity, embrace (renaissance) tradition! Wear floofy things and jaunty boots! Rule over a small fiefdom! Die of the plague from an infected well!

Hey #Somerville - I'm giving away free donuts next weekend. On Saturday from 8:30 to 10:30 AM I'll be hanging out with my friends at Mass Hole Donuts and I'd love to see as many friends & neighbors as possible. Come grab a donut, campaign swag, and maybe say hi if you're feeling chatty!

While the “redevelopment” of Scollay square was a travesty that displaced hundreds of households, I appreciate the incorporation of the historical name in government center station.
