It’s been a few days now, but Boston residents are still glowing in the aftermath of the Boston Celtics’ victory during the 2008 NBA Finals. That happened on the night of Tuesday June 17, of course, when the players, last in the East just one year ago after amassing the 2006–2007 season’s second poorest […]
Following the Boston Celtics’ decisive 131–92 win over the Los Angeles Lakers in the sixth game of the 2008 NBA Finals on Tuesday night, it was trophy time.

Normally, I would post about a local Boston attraction today. But while looking for accompanying media, I came across interesting YouTube footage uploaded to the video-sharing website in December 2007.
Debatably titled Boston’s Deadliest Bike Messenger, the admittedly thrilling viewing material demonstrates numerous ways to get yourself — or someone else — in a fatal […]
You want fascinating? Boston’s got it — in the form of the ever popular Museum of Science, a Boston landmark and member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums that is home to the Charles Hayden Planetarium, the Mugar Omni IMAX Theater, and dozens of animals. The museum is situated steps from the […]
Pop-rock vocalist Natalie Merchant, formerly of alternative rock’s 10,000 Maniacs, has a sweet two-day gig coming up next week in Boston. The New York native will be performing live twice with the revered Boston Pops Orchestra, led by conductor Keith Lockhart, during EdgeFest 2008.
EdgeFest, now in its fourth year, is a Boston Pops concert […]
