Neighborhood tags

[dougo]

While thinking about tags for my Spün post, I was a little surprised to see that there isn't already a "powderhouse square" tag. Looks like there are "teele square" and "ball square" tags, so there's precedent for neighborhood-specific tags. Maybe "magoun square" too? Or is that too far from Davis proper?

Probably a good idea, but I don't relish the thought of trying to retro-tag all of our past posts regarding Powderhouse.

Magoun is fairly far away, but then so is Union Square which does have its own tag (because so much interesting stuff happens there)

A new tag doesn't mean ou have to do re-tagging all the old stuff, but it can be used moving forward. I'd support both, I guess.

I added a powderhouse tag today (just one word), and spent a fair amount of time retro-tagging old posts that had something to do with that square or circle or park. However I'd appreciate if you or anyone else can retro-tag additional posts that you know about and I overlooked.

Popular subjects of 'powderhouse' posts are: Angry Mike (going back to 2004!), the late unlamented Spun yogurt place, and the park itself.

I didn't create a 'magoun square' tag because I don't see much discussion of that square in davis_square. But you can go ahead and do so, if you like.
