The scene of the bombings have been cleared, and people are streaming back to Boylston Street. We wanted to see the memorial in person so we took the T to Copley Square last night.
On the street are satellite trucks from every major network set up to report and in the Square is the memorial. It’s bigger than I thought it would be. It’s quite moving and emotional. It was crowded. People of all creeds and colors, some crying softly, maybe saying a silent prayer, taking pictures and looking at what’s become a tribute to those killed and wounded. There are letters, notes from all over the world, baseball hats, running shoes, candles, flowers, origami hanging from trees, stuffed animals.
If you can’t go to Copley Square, here’s a sampling of what it looks like.
