A Red Sox game was in full bloom when I ventured over to El Pelón Taqueria in Fenway, one of many restaurants surrounding the ballpark. Its brightly colored umbrellas and wooden picnic tables stood out on the bright sunny day. Despite being past peak lunch hours, the taqueria was swarming with customers.
Inside, vibrantly colored decorations and memorabilia lined the walls as customers queued up to order from the large menu. Enticing aromas from the kitchen drifted through the small restaurant, inviting passersby to stop and explore the cuisine.
BOSTON – A screening of "Straight Outta Compton," the searing biopic about rap group N.W.A., had ended and the thoughts and emotions of roughly 20 teenagers from Roxbury began surging into the open.
The teens watched the film Tuesday afternoon along with seven academics and entertainment professionals. After the show, they gathered inside the Paramount Center to discuss the film's best moments, and the moments in the group's brief history that were left out. Roxbury Presbyterian Church, an organization with a history of working with neighborhood youths, organized the talk.
