Corona Boston VI: Less Cars, More People

What a great day, for most of us. City was bright blue, clear, slightly warm. Perfect walking weather. For a Friday rush hour, it seems more quiet than the week prior. Except, more people escaped their voluntary prisons than previous days, for a well deserved stretch.
