How staying different saved street art in the Bean
Boston has a special place in graffiti history — and not just because one of our early marquee vandals, Popeye, was Jordan Knight of the New Kids on the Block.
The trolley Svengali
When the T works, we usually don’t notice. But when it doesn’t, our reaction is swift and severe.

The No Pants flash mob prank returns to Boston public transit once again.
Local experts predict the Boston of the future
There's more to imagining our city's future than placing bets on when Hizzoner will retire (which is just an exercise in futility at this point).
