Since it's showing the area code I'm guessing early to mid nineties?

Late 90’s was the peak but hung on until 07/08 ish. It was the best, and worst, of Somerville/Medford.

I’d say late 90s / early 00s — weren’t the area codes normalized / required in the mid-late 90s?

Felt like mid but hell I barely remember what I ate for breakfast
