Winter Hill is a State of Mind. @wintervillain
Mike O'Dea, a Boston-based writer and actor who earned regional ink back in 2007 while shooting his low-budget flick "Townies," has approached actor Michael Madsen's reps for the mob boss role of "Fitz" in the upcoming made-in-Boston flick "Code of Silence."

We'll spare you the long history of the effort, by the awesome folks who own the Middle East, to turn the old Somerville Armory into an even awesomer community arts center called the Center for the Arts at the Armory: if you want to follow along at home, read some of these articles. Suffice it to say that the process is ramping up, with a full-blown benefit for the center being staged just down Highland Avenue from the Armory at the Somerville Theater. Mission of Burma -- who're managed by longtime Armory supporter Mark Kates -- will headline the January 24 show, with the Neighborhoods and Faces on Film. You can get tickets before everyone else by going here, or you can wait until Saturday and get them through the usual channels. And just in case you doubt that Burma throws a good benefit, here's some video evidence from the last benefit they threw -- Burma for Burma -- and a bonus track from Faces on Film, recorded earlier this year at the Middle East.

Old news, but of Winter Hill interest:
"Broadway Streetscape Project in East Somerville
The City has developed a preliminary plan for a streetscape and roadway improvement project for Broadway, between McGrath Highway and the City Line near Sullivan Square. Since this past winter the City has worked in conjunction with East Somerville Main Streets, and East Somerville residents and business owners to come up with a pedestrian-friendly, multi-modal, transit-oriented street that encourages people to walk, bike and gather along East Somerville's central business corridor."
Visit Lyndell's for a free cupcake today. And buy a pie while you're down there. WHR is of the mind that any and all 121 year old businesses in the area are worthy of our continued patronage. Particularly so when their product is so so delicious.
*Technically our accompanying photo is muffins not cupcakes. Please to forgive.
I'm seeing a play tonight at the Theater Cooporative on Broadway in Somerville, which is in Winter Hill. I know about Vinney's on Bwy further down, and Wang's much further up. Any other good food suggestions for that area? I'd prefer to spend under $15 for an entree. Thanks.
The Somerville Theatre is a little ways outside our geographic jurisdiction (oh how we limit ourselves) but Bradley's got a set up from last night's Lonely Dear show that I rather liked (particularly #4).
Somerville - In an effort to make sure that every child has a warm coat this winter, students at the Kennedy Elementary School, Albert F. Argenziano School, Prospect Hill Academy Charter School, Arthus D. Healy School, Winter Hill Community School, West Somerville Neighborhood school and Benjamin G. Brown School in Somerville are doing their part to help those most in need by participating in Anton's Cleaners 14th annual Coats for Kids drive, which kicked-off Oct. 1 and runs through Dec. 31, 2008.
Somerville - The East Somerville Main Streets photo exhibition, "Interpreting East Somerville." will open Nov. 20.
Working with East Somerville Main Streets, artis
t Christopher Poteet solicited photos from photographers great and small, seeking their views of East Somerville.
The subjects are street scenes, people scenes, odd architectural features, landmarks, broadway shops, yard ornaments, interesting angles on common things and even the space shuttle flying over East Somerville.

Jimmy Del Ponte On The Silly Side This week's column was a breeze to write - a gentleman who reads my ramblings every week sent me an email about growing up on Winter Hill. I asked him if I could share his memoirs with the readers here and he said yes. This is basically his story - as he told it to me. I guess you could call this week's column "On The Hilly Side." He's not the kid whose mother hung out the window and yelled "Anthony..." on Wednesday afternoon in the North End; however, this Anthony has a lot of stories to tell about his childhood in the 'Ville. He went to the Arthur D. Healey School and then Northeastern Junior High School - which was condemned at the time, but still operated as a learning institution. Anthony then graduated from Somerville High School in 1981. Read more... | |||
PLEASE join us as we explore two of Somerville’s most interesting neighborhoods. While Winter Hill was host to Somerville gentry beginning in the 1880s, the Hinckley / Magoun neighborhood was the home of hard working families who toiled as laborers, teamsters, Boston & Maine Railroad employees and the like—families who built up the neighborhood in three stages during the second half of the nineteenth century.

"Looking at the economic crises facing the nation and the cuts being made by Gov. Deval Patrick, Mayor Joe Curtatone is confident that Somerville is in a much better shape than many other cities and towns in the Commonwealth."

Not much right on Winter Hill. A couple of Sub/Pizza joints,but there is quite a bit close by in either Davis or Union Sq's. If you are driving, it is worth going to either of the Squares, if you are taking the bus, I would recommend Vinny's

further away (ball square, but right on broadway -- bus #89) is the urban gourmet. not much for ambience (though neither is wangs) but there are tables and great, cheap food. pizza, pastas and innovative weekly specials.
