I'm actually not sure what's underneath those domes. Some kind of radar, I suppose. Tracking some kind of spacecraft.

One of the tours we took said that that most of Boston's "cemetaries" are actually burying grounds. the difference being that multiple people are buried in the same grave, while cemetaries are one body per grave. I'm having trouble finding confirmation online though, so this might not be quite true. Regardless, they are called burying grounds in Boston.

Scooter chained to a lamppost in Cambridge, MA. It was raining that day, so I can't imagine why anyone would choose a scooter as their mode of transport unless they didn't mind getting damp.
