Reply to comment by Status_Silver_5114 in Moving to Greater Providence? by [deleted]

I lived in Somerville years ago when it was called “Slumerville”. It was considered one of the dumpiest towns around Boston at the time. High crime in some areas. Now I could never afford to live there. Welcome to gentrification. The Somerville that I lived in was very comparable to some areas around Providence but it has changed so much.

Ikr?! 😳 I lived with a bunch of artists in an old peanut factory just off the McGrath OBrian Highway. Dirt cheap.
