luscious_purple: Boston STRONG! (Boston Strong)
I know I haven't posted here in a month, but I just wanted to say...

... I *loved* this piece!!!

Even though I grew up in Massachusetts, I had never heard of them. I was a little younger than they in the summer of '67. But I had the same burning desire to get to Expo 67. It was fueled by TV commercials on the Boston stations.

In my second-grade classroom I started writing a short story called "Off on the Bar." The Bar was "half bus, half car" and was chasing after a constantly moving city called Gigantic. The student teacher helping in the classroom finally told me I was using too much school paper, so I got myself a notebook.

And, that summer, my parents and I went to Expo 67.

We went to Expo 67 too. It was the first time we took a real vacation, vs going to my grandparents' bungalow in the Catskills.

I saw that headline but didn't follow up on it. Now I must.
