    This is what the @MBTA was supposed to look like, according to the @BostonGlobe. In 1947 the Globe published this map w/ the Green Line going all the way out to Woburn... the Red Line out to Lexington... Orange Line to Dedham... and Blue Line extended out to Lynn.

    Talia Viera, 18, of Quincy, stood on Boylston Street with a sign she made for Jared Padalecki (@jarpad) and his wifeΒ Genevieve (@realGpad), who both star in the TV series "Supernatural." She will be cheering them on as they run the #BostonMarathon. "I'm really excited," she said.

    Strange but true story from Dec. 20, 1928... A pet monkey escapes from a cage and sets its owner's house on fire. Worcester firefighters respond to the house fire and find the monkey in the living room trying to turn on the radio.

    Strange but true #MBTA story: in 1955 my grandfather fell onto the tracks at Park Street station and touched the third rail. But thanks to his wooden leg, he wasn't electrocuted. The crazy story of his β€œlucky leg” appeared in newspapers across the country.
