Squares of Somerville

Posted on YouTube today (though not embeddable) - Ball and Magoun Squares, Somerville from the local TV news magazine, Chronicle, in the Boston area. The piece includes a mini portrait of the Dan Maher Stained Glass studio, in Magoun Square.

The video as a whole is only 3 and half minutes long. Dan is in there from 1:45 to about 3:15. Some little highlights - At 2:10 you see a glimpse of his making one of his Houseware Graveyard pieces. You can see the chunky pieces wrapped in lead came being assembled on the table. At 2:40, the two people in the photo-sandblasted piece are Nancy and Joe Barnes. And finally, note in the long shot of his front window, at the bottom are some of his hand blown rondels. Very nice.

I lived in Somerville for nearly 6 of the 18 years I lived in the Boston area, and Somerville really is a great place for small city squares like this.
