Trees don't grow on trees, you know

Alyk grows weary of all the "but there aren't any trees!" carping about the Greenway; posts a photo of what the Comm. Ave. mall in the Back Bay (you know, tree-lined Comm. Ave.?) looked like in 1872, after it was built.

Oh spray can you see

There's this cool new fountain on the Greenway near the Aquarium and Milk Street. It has holes arranged in a series of ~~concentric~~ eccentric circles. At random, water shoots out of a different group of holes. The water rises 10 feet or so, the kids rush over and a ton of water falls on their heads. They do need to cycle down the chlorine a tad, though.

The case for an Armenian genocide memorial on the Greenway

Jen Langley doesn't get why Tom Menino is so opposed to the idea of an Armenian genocide memorial atop the Big Dig:

... There's the Holocaust Memorial and several Irish Potato Famine memorials. There's a Hungarian Revolution Monument. There's an African American History Museum and statues of Leif Eriksson.

Menino helped put a memorial to Sacco and Venzetti in the Boston Public Library!

I truly believe he just doesn't want a big deal about the Armenian Genocide going on in Boston, in a country where our president hasn't honored his pledge to recognize the Genocide. ...
