Look how the people in this photo are lined up. No word if an AT&T photographer was lurking nearby.

Revere Beach was inundated with class-skipping Boston teens on that wicked-hot day last week. One terrified Revere city councilor wants metal detectors at Revere Beach station because "every other teenager who got off the train had a knife or a weapon." How does he know?

A Revere woman was arrested for skinny dipping at Revere Beach yesterday, the Lynn Daily Item reports. The formal charge? Disorderly conduct.

Kerry Anne took some photos, too, then passed out from heat exhaustion:

Meanwhile, Joey, new to the US, reports on a fun day at Revere Beach today - which ended at the Blue Line station where she watched a guy beat up a cop and two strangers jump onto the tracks to pull up a drunk guy who'd fallen there:

You're annoying the people who bought expensive beachfront condos.

Sissy Willis posts photos of the giant sand sculptures at Revere Beach - and a roast-beef sandwich from Kelly's.

It was a slow day today for the lifeguards at Revere Beach, where cooler temperatures and brisk winds kept most people away.
