Why a Somerville T-Shirt?

It was one of those ideas that came to me accidentally. I have an unconscious habit of flipping words and sounds in my head after I hear them. One day, Somervillain just came to me. What better image for a spunky little-brother town than a tough-guy Villain? The idea's come to others too. One the thing about the internet, it teaches humility.

Living outside of Davis and Porter Squares for the past six years, I've seen a lot to love about the area. Somerville is one of those stories of a neighborhood that may get a little bit of teasing, but to its credit I've never heard a single anti-Cambridge or anti-Boston word in return.

Some may argue that Porter and Davis Squares aren't really Somerville and they'd have a point, I do live on the frontier, but what better place to see the difference? Oh, and look for me at Bukowski's in Iman too, and Sherman's or Bloc 11 Coffee Shops in Union, running on Tuft's campus, or the Minute Man Trail or hanging with my Little Brother in Winter Hill.

So why a T-Shirt? Because this town has character and I thought it made sense to make it one. Check it out and wear it with pride, Somerville.

p.s. To all you other Somerville's out there, our shirts fit you too.
