‘Nothing stops these pilgrims’

As I write this, an entire city is locked down. Boston residents are being told not to leave their homes, the metro and cab services are not in service and businesses and schools are being told not to open. It is surreal. The manhunt is taking place right near the area I used to live in. I drove through it frequently and recognize it in the footage being shown. Earlier this week, I was going to ask a dear friend who lives in Boston and teaches at Boston University, to write a guest blog post for me because I wanted to know what it is like to be in Boston right now. She did so on her own blog, it is worth a read, check it out here. Have a good Friday, and Bostonians, stay safe.

Update: Here is my friend Victoria on what it is like to be in the Boston area right now.
