I miss the Smithsonian Folklife Festival.

Large crowds of people sitting on picnic blankets and smiling in the sunshine on the grass of the National Mall.

Crowd of people walking among tents on the National Mall. Sign reading "FESTIVAL SERVICES | SMITHSONIAN FOLKLIFE FESTIVAL" on the right. U.S. Capitol building in the distance.

People walk on the National Mall towards the US Capitol past cultural exhibits.

This is exactly what happened in 1955 when streetcars were removed from Blue Hill Av to make a high-volume, high-speed highway for suburban car commuters.

Railroad tracks running down central reservation of Blue Hill Avenue in Roxbury, Massachusetts, circa 1930s.

Every hometown’s got the ominous megastructure, what’s yours? (There are a number of contenders for Boston, but Boston Sand & Gravel stands out for just being in the middle of everything).

Boston Sand & Gravel Plant in Charlestown, MA, a large gray structure with many towers and oddly shaped peaks surrounded by elevated freeways and railroad tracks. A yellow sign with black lettering shows the company's name and phone number (no area code). Below that, awhite sign with red lettering reads "FIRST AND FINEST." Prominent Boston landmarks such as the Zakim Bridge, TD Garden, and Customs House Tower are visible in the background.

So, I really liked Ethan Hawke’s performance in BLUE MOON, yet I confess there were times it reminded me of Cabbage Head from THE KIDS IN THE HALL.
