r/Somerville

I hear it has changed a lot and I am curious to hear from people who have been here that long or longer.

I know this isn’t directly related to Somerville, but I live here, and I want to ask my neighbors about their experiences selling cars here. I’m trying to sell my car, and the last time I was a party to a private sale that wasn’t family or a family friend, newspaper classified ads were still a thing. I’ve listed on Autotrader, but so far all I’ve gotten were scam attempts, and fb marketplace seems sketchy. If you’ve sold a car recently, how did you go about it? Were there any avenues you’d recommend or avoid?

While I’m at it, if anyone is in the market for a 2009 Toyota highlander, lemme know.

Appreciate any recommendations. We have a second floor dryer that ducts up to under the third floor eave. Otherwise I'd do it myself.

Anyone else?

EDIT: everyone report to eversource! I keep reporting it and they keep auto responding that nothing is wrong. We have to make them realize there's no power before they even get off their asses.

EDIT #2: Estimate 10pm? Jesus Christ.

Of course that actually means at 9:59pm they will change the estimate to tomorrow morning, because they all can't be bothered.

EDIT #3: Power back here near Trum Field. I stand corrected! Although I'm a bit concerned that Eversource keeps sending me text messages saying my power will be back on by 9:45pm...it's been on for five minutes now.

Anyone else in Ball Square lose power? Guess I have to go touch grass 🌳

Did anyone else just lose WiFi but not power?

Sparks everywhere. One foot from your wood frame house and wooden planters, on a windy day.

Man I miss Somerville Speakout!

Im on sabbatical from hinge,, how many times should I anticipate going to The Burren before meeting the right person.

Additional context: My friends (and some peers) call me handsome (I won’t go into detail and spoil your imagination)

Hi! I'm looking for a tennis instructor to gift my wife some lessons for her birthday. She played d3 in college but has been out of the game for a long time, and would love to find someone who can also connect her to a social tennis network (if there is such a thing). We're in Somerville but anywhere in the area would work. Thanks in advance tennis people!

Fuck you Eversource.

Update: I took the day off and called them, but they won't listen to me because it's in my roommates name and he doesn't have any days off. He's trying to call them but the hold queue is longer than his lunch break. I guess we just won't have gas ever? Fuck you Eversource. Somerville needs Municipal Owned gas, because these fuckers are useless.

UPDATE: My friend is talking fine and doing OK and will hopefully be a lot better in a few days. Thanks to everyone here, especially the person who shared the police and fire reports. We don’t think it was a hit and run, but we don’t know what happened yet. The police will be able to help because there *was* a report filed. Super scary. Hi my friend got hit by a car today (5/19) at around noon and doesn’t remember anything. She’s in the ER at MGH now. Let me know if you saw this happen or if you called an ambulance or if you know anything. We are trying to figure out what happened. TIA

where is the tastiest chicken sandwich approaching a nashville hot chicken sandwich or taiwanese five star chicken? thank you!

Oh my goodness gracious, the pollen today was absurd, I’m fighting for my life. Hopefully this storm washes some of it out of the air lol

Has anyone had luck finding grenadine at grocery stores like mb or star or is it only at liquor stores? Asking for my gf.
