Appreciate the support, @johnkrasinski! https://t.co/CcDz4MdVm7 pic.twitter.com/cwaEOu51j5 ‘€” New England Patriots (@Patriots) January 5, 2016 . Boston.com — Glad to see John Krasinski hasn’t lost sight of his Bostonian roots. The Newton-bred actor stopped by ESPN’s “His Hers” to promote his new Michael Bay-directed movie “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi,” out January 15 — and also apparently to be bombarded with rude questions like, “You do understand, as a Boston sports fan, why the rest of us consider you guys to be really annoying?” “Um, I don’t Continue reading >>>

BOSTON (CBS) – Let’s hear a round of robust Bostonian applause for actor John Krasinski, a Newton native who stuck it to the buffoons on ESPN, the all-sports cable channel that seems to specialize in belittling Boston teams, athletes and fans. Krasinski was just trying to promote his new movie, but the hosts thought it was cute to throw up a graphic on the screen reading: “Do you understand why no one likes Boston sports fans?” To hammer home the point, one of the hosts says to Krasinski: “You do understand, as a Boston sports fan, why the rest of us consider you guys to be really Continue reading >>>

In October, as I was riding the train to work, the conductor calmly asked everyone to get off the train at the next station. Why? Because the train was on fire. Sigh.Complaining about the MBTA has become a hobby for many Bostonians. In fact, it’s impossible to say the name “T” without having it either directly preceded or followed by profanity. The problem is, it’s not getting any better, from last year’s dismal performance in the snow to the recent escapade of the runaway train. The lack of functioning public transit is a problem for every Bostonian. Continue reading >>>

SONY DSC By Aram Arkun Mirror-Spectator Staff BOSTON — The Bostonian Society on December 17 held a press conference at the Old State House to discuss recent revelations concerning the red book discovered in a time capsule prepared by Moses Gulesian, an Armenian-American who had immigrated to Boston in the late 19th century from Marash in the Ottoman Empire. The time capsule, actually a copper metal box, had been placed inside the head of the copper sculpture of a lion on top of the Old State House. The red book and the time capsule were on display, and Brian Continue reading >>>

While the latest ghost train controversy has captivated people, there’s a whole laundry list of issues that’s led us to hold a grudge against our city’s public transit system. (Like how the T essentially broke last winter.) Charles Chieppo, an Innovations in American Government Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School’s Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation, released a report last week entitled Continue reading >>>

(Photo: Tao Tao Holmes/Atlas Obscura) According to a 1928 map called “A Bostonian’s Idea of the United States of America,” Bostonians suspect that every state outside the northeast lacks borders, California is enclosed by the Rocky Mountains, and most everywhere in between is just an undifferentiated expanse known as the “Western Prairies.” The map is a composite of ideas held by Bostonians, which have been “gathered, evaluated, weighted, and combined,” at least according to the elegant banner at the top. The superciliousness Continue reading >>>
