A Walker Center Connection to Boston
“If you live in the Greater Boston area, flashing red in the summer on the old John Hancock building means that the Red Sox game is cancelled.” — Ruth C.
Food Recs
“Tuk Tuks, the new Thai restaurant in Marmalade is sooo good.” — Amy C.
“The new Shades Brewing is open on 300 West and I was super impressed with the full menu they now offer in addition to some specials. We grabbed a cheese pizza that blew my mind for a basic pizza with no additional toppings.” — Eric S.
