Is Somerville's Union Square cooler than Central or Harvard or Inman? (twintermute/Flickr)

Dos Equis’ Most Interesting Man In The World went to BU. Is Somerville the Most Interesting City In The State?

After learning that a Cambridge city councilor dissed his city, Somerville Mayor Joe Curtatone challenged Cambridge to an “Interesting City Challenge” in an op-ed in the Cambridge Chronicle.

Curtatone claims that “it’s been well over a decade since Davis Square eclipsed Harvard Square’s hip factor,” and, “anybody who’s in the know these days will tell you that Union Square in Somerville (is) the new hip place to be.”

Harvard, how do you like them apples? Hide the college students and dive bars because clearly, them’s fightin’ words.

Somerville is great, Cambridge is great. But which is hipper and more interesting?
