As many will remember last year Boston was rocked by a bombing at the marathon. I documented it 48 hours later here... http://realphotographersforum.com/forum/threads/boston-48-hours-later.10922/#post-87148
This year the city...the country...and in fact the world is out to make it a bigger and better event just to say...we won't let cowards change who we are. There will be more than 36,000 runners and over a million spectators from all over the world here on Monday...Patriots Day.
We took a walk downtown yesterday...48 hours before the start...
They opened Boylston St...the finish line where one of the bombs went off just to the left of where I am standing. As you can see...blue and yellow are the colors.

There were 36,000 of these all around town...

A most striking sound is all of the languages/accents you hear...

The streets were overwhelmed...

This years banners flying over the medical tent in front of the library say it all.
