The incidents that happen in India to get a political position are happening there too. Warriors should be cautious about the conspiracy, casteism, nepotism, reservationism etc. violations and interference, the result of which will be speechless.
I was so blessed to meet Harriotte about 40-43 years ago. A few days ago I had strong flashes of a couple of memories from the first year or so, and another from 20 years later, when Harriotte asked me to meet her mother at Port Authority Bus Terminal (in the early 80's) and hang out with her for a few hours (in between bus trips). The second was when I told her I was going to India & she hooked me up with Goddess-level person (that I then had lunch with in Varanasi). Big impact. Both times. Thank You for being in my life! Sending much love <3 Kate Schmitt
I was born in Somerville in 1935 and I've seen this city with 100,000 residents get along a lot better than these times with all the different races and countries trying to exist together..........My great grandfather was George Wyatt who owned the WYATT brickyards on land that is now Lincoln Park....Wyatt St. and WYATT circle is named after him and his house on BEACON ST is in the National Registry of Historic Homes........My family personally had very little money as did most of our neighbors, but we made it through W. W. 2 and glad to say our family members made it through the war unlike so many Somerville Service members who didn't.....This generation that I grew up in was the REAL SOMERVILLE......Thanks for listening to me as I'm going to be 90 years old next year
It would be really helpful if an email sign up be put in place and an email sent out weekly to residents when their street/sidewalk will be closed and where the construction will be that week. I have been at Summer/School for a year, and the lack of scheduling knowledge has been infuriating. Even the contractors have complained in our conversations about the lack of coordination between utilities and tear up of streets and sidewalks.
Hello, I came across this video and was quite surprised to see the focus on 14 Everett Street which was our family home on by mother's paternal side. It was purchased by my great great grandparents' for my great grandparents when my grandfather was a young teenager. .You mentioned the porch as being original which it is not. My grandmother had the original removed which was extremely upsetting to my grandfather. The doors also were changed. Both of these changes were short sighted and destructive to the original architectural charm of the house. I have pictures of the house before this was done. My grandfather described the architecture as being Federalist, I believe, so I am not sure if other changes were made. It could have been that my grandfather did not want the house to be Italianate because he did not like Italians so probably did not want the association. There are many of us still in the area who spent their childhoods and adulthoods visiting this house. I noticed someone else mentioned the Strand which my mother always talked about and my uncle still does. He is in his 99th year and was born and raised in this house.
George Wyatt was my great grandfather and I lived around the corner from WYATT St. and always wondered if there was some kind of connection between that street and my last name......It took 80 years for me to learn that family connection when my grandson checked into the D. N. A. and got all the proof of our family heritage.....
Thanks for putting this together. There is so much to keeping the City’s infrastructure healthy and flowing freely (in this case). It’s important to showcase the work behind the scenes and under the streets that keeps the citizens of Somerville healthy and safe!
We are praying for you in the USA! May God intervene and keep the righteous safe. Hang on and be strong! I’m praying that Kenya comes to help you soon, in the name of Jesus Christ 🙏
I've had all my shots and I'M laying claim to be the oldest former resident of Somerville to be watching this video.......I was born in Somerville in 1935 and lived there until 1966.........My family was among the poorest of the poor but somehow we survived and I'll always have fond memories of growing up in Somerville......Thanx for listening to me as not too many people respond to these city orientated videos...I live miles away and I still watch everything about this city.........
Nice job Brandon and Joe Lynch........Being born in Somerville in 1935, I find all this history about Somerville very interesting......My great grandfather George Wyatt owned the BRICKYARDS in Lincoln Park and lived on BEACON ST near Concord Ave of which is now a Historic site........
All in all you did a nice job describing the changes in buildings from the past to the present......I was born in Somerville in 1935 and lived there until 1966....I've seen it all .........
Congratulations on the opening of the new Somerville Museum from an old Somerville resident who was born on Dimick st. in the year 1935 and resided there until 1966........I belive the population at that time was around 100 thousand persons and stayed that way for years......Wave high your gilded banner, as Somerville leads the way ......( Text from the high school song. )
I'm back again..Anyhow, I think that lottery store was a small grocery store called De Prado's and they sold fruits and veggies and ice cream and soft drinks......Around the corner toward the fire house stood the STRAND theater of which my friends and I would attend usually on weekends.......When in high school I would walk through Union Sq up over Prospect Hill, down the other side, across McGrath highway to Cross ST. and on to VOCATIONAL high school........For 3 years I did that routine........Union SQ. was a good shopping center with Woolworths, BACKER'S hardware, Luncheonette and a good size food market on Bow st.......Sorry to take up all your valuable time.
Hi Brandon and Ed.......I have lived in Somerville for 31 years from 1935 to1966 on the corner of Dimick and Harold streets........Two blocks away from Wyatt st. and Lincoln Park......My great grandfather was George Wyatt who owned the Wyatt brickyard of which encompassed all of Wyatt St. from Concord Ave. to Lincoln Pk. to Somerville Ave..........His house is on the National Historic list and is located on Beacon ST. Near Concord Ave.....I never knew any of this and always wondered why my last name was on that street.....Well anyhow, I'm now 88 years old and I've learned all this history in the past couple of years.........I enjoy these historic walks by the both of you and will keep watching further video's......Thanks Brandon and Ed......
