🏆 MAYOR’S CHOICE AWARD! 🏆

This week’s Mayor’s Choice Award, selected by our sponsor K&L Auto Body, goes to Nick Stone and his incredible 1930 Ford Model A Ratrod! 🔥

Nick’s ride is truly the “Frankenstein” of cars-built with his Dad over an incredible 9-year period, piece by piece, with plenty of personality along the way 👀 Check out the Rat Fink emblem on the hood; just one of the details that makes this Ratrod so unforgettable.

And trust us… photos don’t do this one justice. You’ve GOT to hear that engine roar! 🔊🔥

🐾 We love dogs in Downtown Somerville! 🐶❤️

Our downtown is a dog-friendly place, and there are plenty of things our four-legged friends can do but picking up after themselves isn’t one of them! 😉

Help us keep our sidewalks, streets, and public spaces clean and welcoming for everyone. Be the hero your dog thinks you are and always pick up after them.

Good dogs. Good humans. Clean streets. 🐾
