Further, I live in Boston and they didn't say you couldn't go outside, they just advised you not to. I walked across the Boston Common where people were playing with their dogs and grabbed a coffee from the coffee shop.
People from outside of Boston probably didn't realize it, but it was really just 1 neighborhood locked down with the mass transit everywhere else not working.
Weird day? Yes! Martial law? No.
- herewego 14y agoI'm in Boston and I completely agree. It was a 20 block area, which is not even close to the entirety of Boston and it's surrounding neighbourhoods.
- bricestacey 14y agoI went out too. Lots of shops, restaurants, bars still open in North End area.
- corresation 14y agoIs Boston normally an incredibly quiet city? Incredulous at reports of the lockdown I looked at Boston highway cameras and it was close to a ghosttown. Helicopter video feeds of the Boston downtown showed, again, a ghosttown. Various post-apocalyptic pictures have emerged of Boston proper with hardly a soul in site. I have never been to Boston (though will soon en route to a Patriots game), however I find it hard to believe it is normally that quiet.
- jonheller 14y agoNo, it's not. Pictures like that never happened. I know it's anecdote and all, but all of the 15 or so people I know who work in Boston, did not work on Friday.
