- I am in Somerville. Anyone in the eastern end of the state here can probably
- go to their nearest book store and find the brand-new Rand-MacNally Road Atlas
- of suburban Boston, an individual-street level map booklet of a couple of
- hundred square miles around Boston. Right there, on the cover of the map, one
- of the suburbs is proudly labelled "Summerville".

- mistake that glorious.
