Welcoming the reenactment of Henry Knox’s journey through Roxbury made the day even more meaningful—connecting our community to a pivotal moment in history while celebrating the voices and traditions that continue to shape Roxbury today. Loved helping with this event. #Boston250 #Roxbury

Awesome replica of a 17C ship brought all the heat to City Hall Plaza last night.

Loving this just as Michelle Wu is, ostensibly, the last candidate standing for mayor, in front of the ship of city she sails everyday

We have uncovered what turned out to be a fairly large oval brick feature that locals say was a fountain dating to the time before the church was built. If that’s the case, it is a rare early 19th century part of the Dexter-Bridge garden

Can you spot the feature?
We have found a 4-meter (so far) curved sandy feature. We’re hoping it is a path from the early-19th-century Dexter-Bridge gardens. Also early 19th century ceramic

I'm Australian, genuinely wondering why this nation that claims to be anti tyranny and all about FrEeDoM haven't yet. It's bizarre. Not even #boston250 the other day stirred them. They allow their kids to be slaughtered at school for exactly this moment but they're still on the couch.

Genuinely asking, at what point are you guys going to legitimately take to the streets. Protests are one thing, and I know you've had some big ones, but where are the never ending, business busting strikes? Where's your Arab Spring? If the #boston250 thing didn't stir something, then what?
