Let’s Replace the Massachusetts State Flag! (Central Square) Why does the Massachusetts State flag matter? Learn about the history and significance of the Massachusetts state seal, flag, and motto from Sage Carbone and David Shane Lowry. Think more deeply about your community's symbols and better understand why our state flag must be changed. This discussion is inspired by the Massachusetts Seal, Flag, and Motto Advisory Commission’s open call to artists, historians, educators, students, and members of the public to participate in the effort to redesign the state’s seal, flag, and motto. Established by the Legislature in 2024, the Commission is tasked with developing and recommending new symbols to represent the state through a statewide public process.

I think in early 2020 there was a plan to build residential units above the beacon street star. I still dream about that.

Dear Kennedy Pool users, We are writing with more information on the temporary closure of the Ginny Smithers Pool located at the Kennedy School as of today, Tuesday, June 3. Today, City staff discovered that one of the chemicals we use for pool maintenance (muriatic acid) had spilled onto the floor of the maintenance room by the pool area. As a result, the building was temporarily evacuated today by the Somerville Fire Department. The SFD conducted air tests, found no airborne chemical, and cleaned the spill. First responders then determined that the building was safe for students to return to the building. While students and staff were able to return to the building, the pool will remain closed until our pool contractor can address the equipment involved in the spill. Please know that the safety of our program participants remains our top priority. We apologize for this inconvenience, and we will notify you when the pool reopens. Thank you for your understanding, Somerville Parks and Recreation

Did someone put a hex on the Ginny Smithers pool? Pretty sure it’s been closed more than open in 2025 #somerville
