BOSTON – The former Blessed Sacrament Church on Centre Street in Boston's Jamaica Plain neighborhood is coming back to life after closing its doors in 2004.
This weekend the sounds of ancient folk music will fill the air inside and out as members of the Hyde Square Task Force present the Double Edge Theatre's "Latin American Spectacle," an interactive performance that will begin on the plaza outside, move into the building and reemerge for a carnival-style parade.
BOSTON – Hoverboards won't be allowed on subways, buses, trains or trolleys, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority declared Tuesday, citing safety issues such as "fire and explosions" tied to the battery-driven devices.
"Due to a string of recent injuries, fires and explosions associated with hoverboards nationwide, the MBTA conducted an assessment of the devices and determined that they are a safety risk," the T said in a statement posted on its website. The ban also extends to stations, ferries and other properties controlled by the nation's sixth-largest transit system by passenger use.
