A Little Bit of This / A Little Bit of That

A great piece of nostalgia left behind from the old Melo-Tone building.

One of my favorite pieces I saw during the tour. 

I had the pleasure of meeting the owner of 130 Broadway the other day.  Some of you might remember it as the old Melo-Tone Vending Company building.  Jon took me on a great tour of the facility which currently houses PSG Framing, a custom frame shop, located at the rear of the building and if all goes according to plan it will hold La Brasa restaurant in the future. 

 

I was impressed by Jon’s dedication to the neighborhood and his commitment to investing in Somerville’s future.

Last Tuesday evening I held a neighborhood meeting regarding the new development proposed for 90 Washington Street.   I appreciated all the e-mails and telephone calls I received from people who were unable to attend due to illnesses, weather or prior commitments.   Because I received so many I just wanted to let everyone know that I will be holding another one regarding this development sometime in early March and will keep everyone informed as to the exact date.

I wanted to let people know that I have received communication from the Department of Transportation (DOT) regarding the pedestrian lighting under Route I-93 along Broadway near the Sullivan Square T Station.   The DOT is looking into the issue and I am hoping to set up a field meeting with all parties involved.
