    Gateway Innovation Center | 200 McGrath Highway | Somerville

    I run on McGrath from Lechmere to Prospect Hill almost weekly and I can assure you that it's already been a "weedy, cracked, garbage strewn relic" for the decade I've lived in Union.

    Workbar is moving into the old Elegant Furniture building. I'm glad, since that building looks like it needs serious updating & I like what Workbar has done at their other locations.
