Scenes from new pathway near Fenway station

Scott is loving the newly decorated path along Samuels and Associates' 401 Park, formerly Landmark Center and before that the Sears Building in the Fenway.

And he couldn't go backwards because, well, this is Boston and the traffic had piled up behind him. Read more.
