If you grew up in #Boston, you may have heard about the Statue of Gloria. 😱 For years this HUGE sculpture stood outside on the border of Brookline and JP, and when I was a teenager we used to visit the statue at night. It's now on display at the MFA, and worth checking out!
Hear the strange but true story about my grandfather falling onto the tracks at Park Street station and touching the third rail. (But thanks to his wooden leg, he wasn't electrocuted. The crazy story of his “lucky leg” appeared in newspapers across the country.)
