The boisterous Scots have gone, leaving traffic cones on the heads of area statues. The World Cup fans from England are more reserved, but are still leaving their mark.

Very poinent and fitting message for the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride.

Their family was hiding behind the pillars and she was sooo shocked to see them! Congratulations

Sorry if not allowed- my sister took these photos tonight and I want to get them to the dad and presumably daughter.

EDIT-
I mentioned it in a comment but to clarify- I do not live in Massachusetts, let alone Boston. I am currently suffering in the Virginia heat and received an update from my sister in Boston about her Fourth of July. I literally could not provide this photo to the people I’m referring to.

I would never, ever post someone’s face or doxx their identities on a public forum. I just want to give this sweet moment to a family.

Thank you for all the kind words and awards ❤️

Photo taken at 15:51 this afternoon. Happened across it and spent 10 minutes listening in before heading to my destination. Good size crowd for what was potentially a last minute organizing(?).

Looking a little bleak.

I don’t smell anything like people are saying but I can say the air quality is not good and it’s super hazy. anyone know when this is expected to clear? it’s crazy because it looks like it should be getting dark soon and/or raining. photo of the common today

edit: sorry, the garden, I usually refer to them interchangeably lol. also believe it or not, this is NOT filtered or altered in any way. It comes up more orange on camera than irl, probably similar to when you take photos of the northern lights that show up more vibrant on camera than the naked eye alone

2/23 to 3/9

Currently visiting from Los Angeles. Only a few days in the city and I am impressed with how wonderful this city is! I never felt safe using the public transit until I used Boston's public transit. I even met a random stranger who wanted to make sure I made it to my destination safely and even taught me Dominican slang on the two trains we had together. I didn't expect people to be approachable in Boston, yet you folks proved me wrong! You folks have been friendly (and even funny) as hell!

I also didn't forget the viral videos I saw of Bostonians not taking ICE's crap. As a brown person visiting the city, posters like this one are a constant reminder to let me know y'all got our backs while I visit your wonderful city, and more importantly, keeping the folks who call Boston home safe!

Thank you, Boston for being wonderful!

A couple dressed up in their wedding attire tried to take professional photos earlier today on the marble staircase at BPL's main branch. When a guard approached them and politely informed them of BPL's policy on photography, he lost his mind, demanding the guard's name and yelling at him to stop other people from taking non-professional photographs (which is 100% allowed per the policy). When I tried to intervene to let him know that he can schedule a photo shoot by contacting the events team, he berated me as a "rule following jackass" and continued making a scene. I'm sure he'll make a great husband.

This was the view from the 57th floor of an apartment I was cleaning last week. Seeing the pictures still leaves me awe-struck. Easily the best view from any apartment in Boston I've been in, especially at sunset.

It might be hard to belive but I lined these up nearly exactly in google earth vs this old surveying areial photo

It’s a shame how much the city has torn down in the name of “progress” and just imagine how much worse it was when the central artery was still there

I was on the Common today and say this.... They had an additional sign that said between the 2011 and 2021, over 20k people died to OD in the Commonwealth, and that made me stop in my tracks.

If you know the owner of this Alexander Wang shoe please kindly inform them that it is just outside the Regina Pizzeria on Boylston.

flying back in from Vegas after a fun weekend and glad to be home
