Trying to imagine how much of the neighborhoods near the Edsel plant would have been destroyed by the combination of the plant closure and the construction of I-93, which must have overlapped.
I don't know if there is any sensible way to make the company be Harvard and MIT, even though Somerville provided grad student housing for many decades. Arthur's joke (based on actual data?) was that more Nobel prize winners had lived in Somerville than in any other single city. Including Obama.
If you had asked me what song Obediah Masterson was singing, I would have said "My time of night" (always in Peter Gallagher's voice, although the first time I heard it was presumably when it was the musical in my high school one year). My memory is so faulty.
