In Big Letters, News of Markey’s Election Reaches Somerville Last Weekend

July 1, 2013 By dougdavidoff

Passing through Davis Square in Somerville on Saturday, I chanced to read the latest news on the ticker above Middlesex Federal Savings Bank. Powered by www.WickedLocalSomerville.com, the ticker reported that U.S. Rep. Ed Markey had defeated Gabriel Gomez to win Massachusetts special election for a U.S. Senate seat.

I thought it was wonderful that Somerville was still learning of the big news four days after the election! I took out my iPhone, powered up the YouTube Capture app, and took this less-than-30-seconds video of the sign. Even four days later, doesn’t the news look great in giant letters on that ticker!

And the music in the background is from a live folk gig on the plaza across from the Somerville Theatre.

Please share widely!
