Here’s Where You’ll Find Yesterday’s Attention to Detail Clue

The design element in yesterday's clue is part of our decaying infrastructure. It's on the Red Line subway entrance on Main Street in Cambridge adjacent to the Longfellow Bridge (map). So, if it should fall or pieces of it were to drop off, it could hit a Red Line train.

It's hard to look at it now and realize how well designed it was and how even little details like these scuppers that drained water from the barrel shaped roof were graceful as well as useful.

Here's one of the corner elements. Lets hope it stays in place long enough to be repaired.

Where Is This and What Might It Hit If It Falls?

Think about where you have seen this design element in your travels around the Boston area. And, as it deteriorates, what might it damage if it should topple over or if pieces of it should fall?

This is a game we play called "Attention to Detail." In addition to playing it here from time to time, Penny has two newspaper columns in the Back Bay and Beacon Hill where readers are given a photo of a detail of a building each week. The following week they learn where it's located and a bit about that detail or that building.

We won't make you wait a week for the answer here. Check back tomorrow for the solution.

Watching the Frog Pond Skaters…

Watching the Frog Pond skaters is always good, free fun. Even if you don’t want to skate, you can grab something warm to drink, pick a sunny bench, and watch the skaters glide by.

You can make up stories for each pair and group you see. Is this a teaching professional or are they a couple?

For some, it seems to be a great place to have a good, long talk. Especially one of those conversations that seems to go round and round in circles.

For others, it’s a fun way to get some winter exercise.

And, we were not the only ones taking photos, but this guy was in the middle of the action, not on the sidelines.

And, if you want to skate, it will only cost a little more. For more information visit The Boston Frog Pond website.
