Who needs the mountains when there is plenty of snow here in Boston’s North End. Maryann O’Brien captures snowboarding down Copp’s Hill Terrace.
A long time ago we decided we should try Florida for a couple of weeks in the winter. Other people seemed to like it. The place we are staying has drop-dead beaches, beautiful shells, a plethora of wildlife and an ocean that varies its shade of blue hour by hour. While all of you have Read More…
Returning from travel, I am always glad when my plane touches down at Logan. I have loved living in the North End these past 30 years. I have known why from the start but the 70 inches of snow in the last two weeks, with much more on the way, has driven the point home Read More…

A victim of the latest storms has been poor Captain Bob at Union Wharf Marina. The boat was seen taking on water Monday afternoon and succumbed to the harbor overnight. Oil cleanup services were on the scene. Richard Chalfen captured “the rising” on Tuesday from Commercial Street in these photographs.
