Davis Square, Somerville, Massachusetts

This video is about one intersection in the USA — Davis Square, Somerville, Massachusetts.

What can one say in a 3-minute clip about one intersection? To all you travel videographers and marketers: take note, this is one great short!

I’ve seen lots of travel destination multimedia and presentations on the web. This one struck a chord. The mood is bouyant, inspirational, and earthy. I can tell the people loved living here. Next time I’m within a 100km of Somerville, I’m going to Davis Square — just for the coffee, alone. I promise.

Roger A. Brooks Rule 16 “The Rule of Telling Stories” tells us that ‘Great stories make the campfire memorable.’ No matter how small or insignificant your destination may appear to be, a great story sells the destination. Stories entertain and teach, says Brooks. They also bring visitors into a community.
