"The ginkgo tree is from the era of dinosaurs, but while the dinosaur has been extinguished, the modern ginkgo has not changed. After the atomic bomb in Hiroshima, the ginkgo was the first tree that came up. It\u2019s amazing."<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

About 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><\/h6>\n
