Was back there in 2013 during September and with friends that live there went down to Boston Common and had a meal with Leighton...

We parked in the parking garage under the Commons...

When we got up to street level, on the Commons, they were having a rally to legalize marijuana, 40 yards away Barney Frank was getting ready to speak.. the rally also was for promotion of gay rights...

I hadn't been on Boston Commons for 35 plus years...going on close to 40....however when we got up to ground level, my first comment to my local friends was " well I see not much has changed in the last 40 years around here..."


Yeah, well that was then. Things have really changed since!

Funny co-inky-dink. I witnessed mobs of shytbirds in town today--many more than usual. The Common and the whole downtown crossing area was abuzz with the vermin. I actually saw a beggar's sign I'd not seen before, and snapped a shot. It's like the Dead were still alive, with their standard accompaniment of bums, failures, do-nothing layabouts and burnout hippie wannabes...
