Let's play Attention to Detail! We give you a close-up clue and you have to figure out where you've seen it around Boston. So where have you seen this logophonetic lettering?
Here are some hints:
This object is more than 340 years old.
It was found in a scrap pile and brought to Boston.
Years later the original owner declined taking it back and gave it to the City of Boston.
After our up and down temperatures and snow storms, this guy actually thought the Charles River Basin was frozen solidly enough for a walk on the river.
Just as I was about to call 9-1-1 to save first responders from having to do a water rescue, he turned and walked to shore. There he seemed surprized to see that the river freezes differently in different spots. By this outflow pipe, the water was moving and the ice was gone.
And, a few feet from where he turned, I spotted this crack.
Each year the Department of Conservation issues Ice Safety Tips and just last week they tweeted to a woman snowshoeing along the Esplanade, " … be careful and stay off the ice!"
