Since the last time we wrote about the proposed Wal-Mart grocery store in Assembly Square, two members of the group Somerville Local First (SLF) (21 Properzi Way) wrote an editorial in the Boston Globe saying that the organization “has decided to oppose Wal-Mart’s proposed expansion into our city.” When we spoke to SLF executive director…
Wal-Mart hasn’t even applied for a permit yet, but predictably, there’s already controversy about its plans to open a Neighborhood Market grocery store in Assembly Square.

The good folks at Starlab (32 Prospect St) have organized perhaps the very best live acts from Somerville and beyond for their third whenever-they-feel-like rockin’ BBQ and festival.

Held on Sunday, June 5 from noon to 4 p.m, SomerStreets closed off Broadway from Temple St through East…
Having just moved to Somerville to begin my post-graduate life, I was worried about my new surroundings and the learning curve I may experience in my first few weeks in the area. It became clear to me that Somerville is a city full of nuance and character and discovering each idiosyncrasy come easily upon wandering…
In early 2009, the inaugural issue of Somerville Scout included a feature on the MBTA’s Green Line Extension. More than one year later, shovels and other instruments are in the ground. On Monday, the Green Line Extension Project Team announced details of its ongoing field work in Somerville and Medford. The following is excerpted from…
Earlier this week, bartenders Jerry Iandoli and Lisa Paradiso showed up to work at Casey’s (173 Broadway) wearing coordinating colors. The pair maintained they had no prior wardrobe discussion.
