A trio of Boston items:

1. Boston mayor Marty Walsh has declared November 20, 2015 Corita Kent Day, in honor of what would have been the late nun and artist’s 97th birthday.

2. A Brief History of Football (!) at Fenway Park.

3. “The basements of Allston, Cambridge, and Mission Hill have typically played temporary home to two things: the excess gear of local college students and the rock bands of Boston’s music community. While the former is transient on purpose, the local bands often have no choice but to find new places to perform. […] Melanie Bernier, a local artist and musician, has stitched a series of flags to pay homage to DIY music venues of years past for a series that she calls “Thank You For Your Service.” Having been originally introduced to Boston music through concerts that would take place in basements, Bernier was saddened when, a few years ago, the underground community took a hit.”
