Boston Fireworks
I watched the Boston Fourth of July fireworks from the Brightcove office, which is located on the 12th floor in Kendall Square. The view was spectacular. It’s really amazing how fireworks are experimenting with color, speed, shape/direction, and intensity. At times the display went for sheer volume, and other times it exhibited subtlety. There were some amazingly huge explosions.
To get downtown, I parked at Alewife and took the T. Heading back after the show, the “line” to get into the Kendall Square T stop packed the stairs and out onto Main Street. Figuring it would probably take a long time (in a stifflingly hot venue) to get on a train, I walked to Harvard Square. Once at Harvard, the platform was practically empty and most people got off the train that arrived shortly after I got there. Getting out of the Alewife garage was another story. It took 45 minutes to start moving, and perhaps another 45 minutes to get to the street. Mental note: Don’t park at Alewife when there’s a major event.
