I grew up just outside of Boston, went to college in Boston, and lived in the city for a few years after graduation before moving to Los Angeles, which is still my current home after many, many years.
And man, sometimes do I miss Boston and the incredible people who make up that city.
Thankfully today, while social distancing in my boring apartment, I was able to see a video that brought be back to the city that I love. I got to watch as a wonderful Bostonian in a Bruins (B’s) sweatshirt with some some incredible hair (love the shaved up sideburns) made a perfect cameo in mayor Marty Walsh’s press conference about the coronavirus.
Check out this guy, who was probably looking for a Dunkies to get a lahge regulah, wander into the live shot, sees it’s the freakin mayah, doode, and decides to check it out it for a bit, kid, with probably his buddy Sully by his side.

What a legend. What a B’s fan. What a Bostonian.
