Local residents of the Greater Boston area will have a chance to play a role in the re-telling of one of the region's most harrowing events.
Boston Casting, Inc. said it will hold an open casting call in Allston on Sunday, March 13 for extras for the movie "Patriots' Day," the Mark Wahlberg film depicting the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings.
BOSTON – A greater percentage of Bostonians walk to work than in any other major U.S. city, while the Hub is tied with Washington for No. 1 among those who either walk or bike to their jobs, according to the Alliance for Biking and Walking.
The assessment marked the second time that Boston has ranked first in the nation among the 50 largest cities in terms of the percentage of commuters who come and go without using cars or public transportation. Yet many cyclists in the Hub still feel that the city has a long way to go to be considered bike-friendly, and by at least one measure, the statistics bear out that view.
