Mr. History post #11: Birth of Reddit.
Some of you might have seen this elsewhere but anyways in 2005, college roommates Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian created Reddit from their apartment at 265 Elm Street in Davis Square, Somerville.
Today, their creation ranks as the 18th most-visited website in the world!
I grew up just a few blocks from this location and must have walked by it thousands of times, especially during that time, and I never even knew!
Mr. History post number 10: Powder House – the oldest stone building in Massachusetts, built around 1703! Oh yeah, there was some other pre-revolution history to it, too. Over the years it’s been used to store munitions and even pickles!
Started out the day walking a trail in Wellesley that I’d been meaning to do for quite some time but never got around to it until today. We had to be in the area so I decided to take the oppurtunuithy to get some steps in. The Fuller Brook Trail is really beautiful. Such a lovely trial to walk and enjoy.
After that I decided to treat us brunch over at The Cottage.
It was also Somerville Open Studios weekend so I decided to relive visiting the Museum of Modern Renaissance.
First really warm beach day outing of the year, sort of a test run if you will. Saw an interesting rock and then had a late lunch at a place called 135 Ocean which was pretty good.
