The North End is for lovers

What says love more than a free parking sign in the North End?

Best leaves you'll see all week

This photo is a good reason to be glad we didn't get hit with a snowpocalypse today.

Somewhere in Dorchester, a cake is wrecked

By adamg - 2/3/10 - 10:48 pm

A couple weeks back, Molly noticed an unusual New England-themed cake at the Stop & Shop on Morrissey Boulevard in Dorchester. Cake Wrecks posted her photo today. You'll have to scroll a bit for it, but you'll know it when you see it.

Don't you just hate it when the WiFi in your public toilet goes out?

By adamg - 2/3/10 - 2:39 pm

I assume that's what the error message on the pay toilet outside the BPL main branch in Copley Square means. But then, I'm a Web geek, so I would think that. Fortunately, both toilets and WiFi await inside the building.

Caduceus wild downtown

By adamg - 1/29/10 - 11:37 am

If you look up while you walk around downtown, you start noticing all these buildings adorned with caduceuses, such as 12 Post Office Square, above. Was fin-de-siecle Boston full of doctor's offices and hospitals? No, it turns out that Mercury, the Roman god whose staff ultimately led to MGH was also the protector of merchants and travel, and so 19th-century Boston traders felt his two-snaked staff the perfect adornment for their offices. The Boston Flour and Grain Exchange pairs a caduceus with Neptune's trident, from back in the days when Boston was a major seaport.

It's a wonder Dan Tobin was able to keep his hands from shaking long enough to take this photo.

You want ugly buildings? I'll show you ugly buildings

On Sunday, the Globe Magazine posited that Bostonians who object to City Hall, the JFK Building and that mental-health building with the staircases to nowhere are simply stupid, plebian dunderheads unable to grasp the magnificence and brilliance of these 1960s and 1970s edifices and their role in restoring Boston's luster after decades of decline. Or as writer Sarah Schweitzer (of course), put it: Read more

Photographer on the T: Violator of people's right to privacy?

By adamg - 1/24/10 - 2:06 pm

Mike Mennono doesn't think so, but considers Dejan Djordjevic's exhibit of photos taken on MBTA trains:

I would never question Dejan's good intentions, and a few of his portraits here are absolutely exquisite, but the show would actually have benefited from at least a cursory acknowledgment of the obvious element of voyeurism. ...

Ed note: Mennonno's post has one photo, not from the exhibit, that you might not want to have on screen when your HR person comes by for a chat.

The King lives!

Sure, not all of us get to see the Virgin Mary in a potato chip, but that's OK, there's always Elvis in the snow in the Back Bay.

Our Lady of the Most Precious Potato Chip

By adamg - 1/22/10 - 5:46 pm

Channel 25 reports a Rockland woman plans to sell a potato chip with a likeness of the Virgin Mary on eBay.

Ed. note: Looks more like a map of New Hampshire that somebody squashed to me, but I suppose there's not much of a market for something like that. Hmm, may not be much of a market for salty mothers of God, either, based on this item.

Jesus on a steam iron.

Does Brown vote in South Boston spell trouble for Brian Wallace?

By adamg - 1/22/10 - 1:29 pm

Maybe not by itself, but David Bernstein ponders if Wallace might have some issues this fall if you combine Browniemania with hostility toward Wallace over gay marriage and from elephant-memory Tom Menino over Wallace's decision to back Flaherty for mayor. If, that is, Wallace even runs, Bernstein adds. Wallace currently has at least one opponent - Democrat Michael McGee, who so far hasn't seemed to express major policy differences, except for casino gambling. Like Wallace, he also supported Flaherty.
