In the Davis Square T station in Somerville, there are 249 tiles created by area schoolkids in 1978/79.
The Tiles Project is an attempt to track down the tiles’ creators and get some of their recollections and impressions about how the area’s changed since then.
Billy Cunningham, for example, recalls 80s Somerville as “A mix of working class people, gangsters and lawyers, all living in one small city.”
Interesting idea, and some cool background on the tiles the new batch of somervillians pass by daily, but never really notice.
