I hadn’t been to Boston since 2004. Last time I was here, someone called the terrorist tipline on me and I was bumrushed on the street by plainclothes cops from DC. Because I was wearing a skirt. Awesome.
Anyhow, this last trip has gone much better, all told. I’ve been hanging out with cool anarcho folks and gotten to explore abandoned bear cages for what would have been a zoo but is now a park. Also, my friend makes awesome handicrafts and I took photos of them. The needleworks are about mountaintop-removal coal mining.
Is that banner still around? Wow!
One of the things I’ve always found fascinating about the East is how much more old abandoned stuff like that is around (compared to the Western states). Though I suppose Europeans would think the Eastern states deficient in that regard.
