  • Mr. History Post Number 8: The Medford Edition! I'm checking out a few origin stories today. First up, the birthplace of the Black Dahlia. It's still an unknown grizzly murder mystery that baffles people to this day. Sadly, her childhood home was razed to make way for the Interstate 93 Rotary that abuts this spot. Poor Liz. Also, since it was so close, I also checked out where the Xmas tune Jingle Bells was supposedly written. The old pub is now an eyeglasses store. I'm trying to imagine two horse open slieghs skidding down Medford Center. 🤷 . #boston #bostondotcom #ig_boston #igersboston #igmassachusetts #igersnewengland #scenesofnewengland #newenglandlife #newengland #ignewengland #igboston #blogger #bloggers #bostonblogger #history #historical #curiousity #roadside

The Canton Viaduct, a stone arch bridge that spans the Neponset River, was constructed in 1835 as part of the rail line connecting Boston and Providence, Rhode Island, and it remains in use in the 21st century! . #boston #bostondotcom #ig_boston #igersboston #igmassachusetts #igersnewengland #scenesofnewengland #newenglandlife #newengland #ignewengland #igboston #blogger #bloggers #bostonblogger #history #historical #curiousity #roadside

  • People say that with age and experience comes wisdom, and with wisdom comes enlightenment. Well, I don’t know how much of it is the truth, but I have grown up and grown with you to realize what love means and what it really means to love someone. Love goes beyond time, age, or even the person, and I have experienced love in its purest form; I feel nothing but gratefulness today. All these years strong with you and more to go, I stand here a happy man thanks to you, and I love you with all my heart. Our relationship might not be perfect, and certainly has its ups and downs, but our love for each other is still strong and is wonderful all the same, and that’s all anyone could ever ask or hope for. I am truly blessed to have found you. I just want you to know, that when I picture myself happy, it is with you. In a world where so many things can be uncertain, you are the one thing that I will always be sure of. Better than I was, more than I am. I’m so glad to be able to spend this day with you and all the days with you. The good things in life are better with you. Seriously, you’re amazing! This lowly kid from Somerville hit it big when he met this Jersey Girl!

  • Mr. History Post #5, Harvard Square Edition! Up first, the Harvard Lampoon Building. Sometimes referred to as the “Lampoon Castle,” it was built in 1909 by Edmund M. Wheelwright, who took inspiration from the local architecture of Jamestown, Virginia. From the front it bears an obvious resemblance to a human head wearing a Prussian helmet. At the top of the building is a four-foot copper ibis, the mascot of the Lampoon. This ibis has been stolen and returned several times since 1909. Same famous peeps who worked here are Conan O'Brian and Colin Jost. Since I was in the area I also swung by the puppeteer tiny bronze. The bronze statue is a replica of the “DooDoo” puppet used by street performer Igor Fokin. Igor Fokin was a puppeteer from St. Petersburg, who delighted passersby on the streets of Cambridge with his hand-carved marionettes that frolicked and danced to traditional Russian music. Fokin passed away of heart failure in September 1996, and the sculpture and accompanying plaque were commissioned to pay tribute to Igor and all street performers. Finally passed by the old theatre. I haven't been to the square in years, it's looks almost the same, but a lot if it is very different. . #boston #bostondotcom #ig_boston #igersboston #igmassachusetts #igersnewengland #scenesofnewengland #newenglandlife #newengland #ignewengland #igboston #blogger #bloggers #bostonblogger #history #historical #curiousity #roadside #harvard #harvardsquare

Mr. History post #6: The bridge that echoes! A National Historic Landmark, this handsome stone bridge, built in 1876 by the Boston Water Works, contains the Sudbury Aqueduct, with a pedestrian walk on top. Visitors standing under the arch can make echoes and view the deep river gorge, waterfall, and steep hemlock-covered banks. Spectacular views atop the bridge!

Mr. History Post #5, Harvard Square Edition! Up first, the Harvard Lampoon Building. Sometimes referred to as the “Lampoon Castle,” it was built in 1909 by Edmund M. Wheelwright, who took inspiration from the local architecture of Jamestown, Virginia. From the front it bears an obvious resemblance to a human head wearing a Prussian helmet. At the top of the building is a four-foot copper ibis, the mascot of the Lampoon. This ibis has been stolen and returned several times since 1909. Same famous peeps who worked here are Conan O'Brian and Colin Jost. Since I was in the area I also swung by the puppeteer tiny bronze. The bronze statue is a replica of the “DooDoo” puppet used by street performer Igor Fokin. Igor Fokin was a puppeteer from St. Petersburg, who delighted passersby on the streets of Cambridge with his hand-carved marionettes that frolicked and danced to traditional Russian music. Fokin passed away of heart failure in September 1996, and the sculpture and accompanying plaque were commissioned to pay tribute to Igor and all street performers. Finally passed by the old theatre. I haven't been to the square in years, it's looks almost the same, but a lot if it is very different. . #boston #bostondotcom #ig_boston #igersboston #igmassachusetts #igersnewengland #scenesofnewengland #newenglandlife #newengland #ignewengland #igboston #blogger #bloggers #bostonblogger #history #historical #curiousity #roadside #harvard #harvardsquare
