Spontaneous Celebration's annual festival in the Southwest Corridor Park at Stony Brook, originally set for today, was, of course, postponed this year, but Michael Spicher discovered a few people still showed up for a "quick and socially distanced" festival.

The MBTA shut power on the Orange Line in the area of Stony Brook around 4:05 p.m. after receiving word a shirtless, shoeless man had gotten onto the tracks and was ambling around. Transit Police arrived and managed to convince Shoeless Joe that was not the best of ideas, got him back up on the platform and radioed in that the power could go back on and service resume, around 4:20 p.m.
