                      Curtatone also said Cambridge was Somerville’s jealous cousin. The playful sentiment was quickly received from one facetious, quick-thumbed Cambridge tweeter. (The account does not belong to new Cambridge mayor Henrietta Davis. Instead, it is satirical, based on the two-month vacancy in the office.)
