Boston Strong

 

Boston Strong. The strength and resilience of the city certainly echoes in the streets after two homemade bombs tore through the crowd of spectators at the 2013 Boston marathon. This newly sought slogan for the city is displayed on highway signs, printed on T-shirts, on placards, scrolling electronically on buses, stickers, graffiti and it's obvious that the population feel united at such a saddened time.

There were few better places to see the storied city struggle with its emotions than a makeshift memorial on Boylston, dedicated to the three killed and the scores wounded in the Patriot's Day attack . 

"Boston — you are my city forever."
"This is our city. This is our race."
"Suspect apprehended, yet still we mourn. NEVER FORGET. BOSTON STRONG."
