Different world. I rented a room on Comm Ave for a while, three blocks from the Commons. And over on Hemingway Street. Went to school for a while across the Charles, but quit to marry a sailor and move far away.
I remember that area well.
In 1976 I was one of Boston’s FIRST Bicycle Couriers.
Now THAT was a tough job!
The Archbishop of the Episcopal Diocese tried to get me fired because my shorts were too short! LOL!
