Boston is Massachusetts’ capital and largest city.
Founded in 1630, it’s one of the oldest cities in the U.S. The key role it played in the American Revolution is highlighted on the Freedom Trail, a 2.5-mile walking route of historic sites that tells the story of the nation’s founding. One stop, former meeting house Faneuil Hall, is a popular marketplace.

111 Huntington Ave. is a 36-floor building designed by the Boston architecturak firm Childs Bertman Tseckares Inc. Completed in 2002. Legend has it that the Mayor of Boston, Thomas Menino, having disapproved of the original flat roof design, personally selected the R2-D2-like roof shape. Well done, Menino!
On December 16, 1773 some people from Boston threw a hissy fit because they were not quite happy with the new Tea Act the British Government hade made up.
So after sitting together and failing to come up with a funny name for the British tea (Freedom Tea, just sounded wrong apparently), they decided just to storm the, in those days correctly spelled, harbour and just chuck all the tea into the ocean.
Some of the colonists were dressed up as Indians, probably because they were not quite sure what the India in British East India Company meant.
You’ll be happy to hear, that no tea bag was harmed in the making of this picture, but we did drink quite a few of them afterwards :-)

Within a day of the bombing, flowers and signs began accumulating at the police barricades along the edges of the secured crime scene. Gradually, the barricades at the intersection of Boylston and Berkeley Streets turned into a full-fledged memorial. Volunteers stepped in to organize and care for the objects being left there. On April 18, Greg Zanis from Aurora, Illinois, contributed three large crosses with the names of Krystle Campbell, Lu Lingzi, and Martin Richard, these became the memorial's centerpiece. Kevin Brown from Brockton, Massachusetts, later made a fourth cross for Sean Collier.
On April 23, the day before Boylston Street reopened to the public, city workers moved the increasing number of posters, flowers, stuffed animals, t-shirts, hats, and shoes to a designated area at Copley Square. There the memorial continued to grow, and runners tied hundreds of pairs of shoes to the barricades that enclosed it on three sides. Several large message boards provided a place for everyone to write their thoughts and feelings.
In late April, Mayor Thomas M. Menino instructed the Boston City Archives to assume responsibility fr the long-term preservation of the objects from the memorial. City workers removed most of the paper items on May 7, before a heavy rain. A month later, the Mayor's Office made a decision to dismantle the temporary memorial. City Archives staff, with help from local preservation professionals and other city workers, boxed up thousands of objects on June 25.
Since then, several organizations have donated their time and resources to assist in preserving this collection. Polygon, a company specializing in water damage recovery, helped dismantle the memorial and then carefully dried the objects. Historic New England then treated the objects in its carbon dioxide chamber to eliminate any pests. And records management company Iron Mountain is currently imaging and housing the bulk of the collection at one of its storage facilities. Because of these collaborative efforts, the objects seen here - and many more - will be preserved in the City Archives collection as reminders of the love and support that this tragedy evoked.
