Tony Lafuente’s Flag Graphics of Somerville had the honor to design, manufacture and hang up this magical banner at Fenway Park over the weekend!

Flag Graphics located on Allston Street in Somerville designs and manufactures most of all the major banners for all the major sporting events in Boston.

We have received several complaints recently from Somerville residents and businesses concerning a specific phone scam. A caller from a ‘617’ area code phone number is randomly calling our residents and stating that a family member was in an accident or being held hostage and demands money. In all cases it was a scam. When the police have called the number back, a recorded message states the voicemail is not set up and then it disconnects the call. If anyone receives a call such as this, please report it to the Somerville Police by calling 617-625-1212.
