I've made it to the picnic the last couple of years.  Think of having the cafeteria staff from elementary school prepare your family picnic.  And then drop your expectations a couple of notches lower.  But, it's free!!

Those of us who live near Magoun got a special extra Tom Champion call detailing exactly how and where we will not be able to park. But as long as you aren't trying to park near Magoun, I expect you'll be fine.

Maybe the whole city got that call? I got it, and I'm nowhere near Magoun.

I dunno. I got two calls. The first was very detailed and specific information about parking restrictions near Trum Field, indicated that only area residents got it, and said that there would be a subsequent call to all Somerville residents. Then the second, which I assume went to everyone. I have not listened closely (I'm sorry, Tom Champion! Forgive me!).

Oh, I see. I only got the second call, then.
