BOSTON (AP) — Boston's top law enforcement official says the attacks in Belgium have added a sense of urgency to securing next month's Boston Marathon.
Police Commissioner William Evans told The Associated Press in an interview Wednesday that he has no information suggesting a specific threat against the marathon, which was targeted in 2013.
BOSTON – In an upstairs loft in South Boston, watercolor paintings line the walls of Dan McCole's studio and living space. His works depict scenes from the streets nearby and some of the locals who live there.
McCole, who grew up just six blocks away, on East Broadway, on a recent day reflected on Southie's character, how the neighborhood has evolved and how it has remained the same. For instance, he said, for as long as he can remember, residents of the area have been accused of being insular and setting themselves apart from others in the city.
