Ayr Wellness – Somerville

When Cambridge Day covered Elm Street on November 17, 2022, it found two cannabis storefronts facing each other: The Goods had just soft-opened at 255 Elm Street, while Sira Naturals operated at 240 Elm Street. The publication reported that Somerville’s Licensing Commission had signed off on Sira adding adult-use sales, though staff then described the start only as expected before Thanksgiving; the excerpt does not confirm when sales began. The same report placed that business change against a striking local vote: 76 percent of Somerville voters supported the 2016 statewide cannabis ballot question, compared with 54 percent statewide. It is a snapshot of one block reflecting the city’s strong ballot-box support.

For a concrete trip-planning reference, Google Routes puts TD Garden at a 3.89-mile, 87-minute walk or a 3.91-mile, 20-minute drive. Fenway Park is a 4.25-mile, 96-minute walk or a 6.02-mile, 24-minute drive. Both driving estimates are traffic-unaware, not live-traffic predictions.
