 Today in Boston:<\/strong> We keep hearing that people miss our cover photos that ran for years in the Back Bay Sun. That assignment was to provide a photo that showed what the week was like in the neighborhood. Often the photos illustrated favorite quotations. <\/span><\/span>Today in Boston is an occasional offering to our BostonZest readers featuring photos along the same theme but taken wherever we happen to be.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
