Some
communities change and forget the past – that's a shame. Then again,
most communities don't have history dating back 250 plus years either,
so maybe we have it better than most – at least from a historic
perspective.

Traditions, unwritten rules and customs – those are
the things that change with the times. We invite change into a
community that is ever-evolving demographically – but there is a line
you don't cross. Don't try to take away religious holidays just because
you can – don't try to call an important local holiday "annoying" and
think you can get away with it – don't step on the dyed-in-the-wool
traditions that have a place in our hearts.

We have a whole list
of historical places, events and inventions that came from Somerville,
so when one of those is elevated to a larger stage, it is with a great
sense of pride that we all share in the moment. Such is the case with
Fluff. As you probably know, it was invented here in this city many
years ago.

What you probably don't know is that the
Fluffernutter sandwich has been proposed by a State Representative to
be named the Official Sandwich of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
That's a pretty big deal, so we all need to get behind this one and
help make it happen.

So take the time to send an email to your
State Representative or State Senator and tell them you want to see the
Fluffernutter named the Official Sandwich of the Commonwealth – and
then go get some of the delicious white stuff and a jar of peanut
butter and enjoy the flavor of the most perfect sandwich. Ever. And if
you are somehow from here and have never had one – then you need to
take care of that immediately. Enjoy.
