A new show called Orphan Black: Echoes, which is just like "Orphan Black," only sideways, is set in Boston in 2052, as Brad Searles discovered.
And as you can see from this screenshot from one of the trailers downtown and Beacon Hill will look a tad different in 28 years, so get cracking, developers. But the Red Line will always be the Red Line, even if now a bit rusty on top. Read more.
A Level 3 sex offender with a record that includes other violent crimes was arrested last week on charges he pummeled another man in the head badly enough on May 23 that passing motorists called 911 about a person covered in blood, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports. Read more.
A UHub correspondent reports he was on the outbound Red Line platform at Charles/MGH around 6:15 p.m: Read more.
It was pretty dark and stormy looking over the Charles as our own Ron Newman made his way over the Longfellow around 1:30 p.m.
Earlier though, roving UHub photographer David Fisher captured a rainbow over Jamaica Plain, then a full up Fort Point Channel (on the South Boston side): Read more.
Sara Mak took in an afternoon rainbow over Kendall Square, the Charles and the Longfellow, after the morning rainbow (note: click on the link for bonus dog in boots on a dock).
Rosabri Mejia came across the latest example of a truck driver disobeying the "CARS ONLY" signs on your finer Storrow Drive entrances and so getting caught by a bridge, in this case, the Longfellow. Judges give this storrowing low marks, because while the driver wedged himself in well enough to back up traffic, he did not majorly sardine-can his roof or spill any of his load on the road.
Myron Freeman captured the early evening over the Charles River and the Longfellow last night.

Dimas captured the action this afternoon after a box-truck driver on Storrow Drive realized, in time, no less, that the Longfellow Bridge was about to peel back his truck like a can of sardines: Read more.
The other day, Taylor came upon all these dogs posed in one of the Longfellow salt shakers (or is it one of the pepper shakers?) and just loved it.
And here is one of the photos the dog walker, Steven Watson, took (bonus shot of the pack in front of the Copley Square T stop, the fancy entrance).
The MBTA tells Adam Castiglioni why Red Line trains were particularly slow over the Longfellow this morning:
Our Track Department performed maintenance work involving inspecting rail and tamping ballast at the northbound end the Longfellow Bridge. After this type of work a speed restriction is usually put into place. It is expected to be lifted after service tonight.
Lillie Marshall reminds us of that truism (OK, which we just made up) while looking downtown from the Cambridge side of the Charles this afternoon.
But that was nothing compared to what Cody DaSilva saw while actually out on the water in Boston Harbor: Read more.
Erin Kane got an unobstructed view from the Red Line as it crossed the Longfellow Bridge this morning:
Boston on a sunny spring day is pretty great

What's old is new: Myron Freeman took in the new lights on the rebuilt Longfellow Bridge yesterday (see it from the other side).

Lovely seagull poop on all 4 towers of the beautiful Longfellow bridge.
