Snapshots from this year's event, part of Charlestown Pride Week.
From today's military to old-time militia, musicians, Mummers and more, the 2013 Bunker Hill Day Parade was full of sights and sounds to entertain all ages. Held Sunday, June 16, the parade made its way down Bunker Hill Street, back down Main, and through several of Charlestown's back streets.
A closer look at life in Charlestown.
"This was taken in the morning from the Harbor Walk in front of Harbor View. I noticed this reflection of the flag through the trees on the gym window of Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital," writes photographer Glenn Clabo, who shared this photo taken on Thursday, May 23. The image seems a fitting tribute to the men and women who have given their lives in service to this country, and who will be remembered this weekend as Boston and the rest of the country observe Memorial Day.

Charlestown photographer Glenn Clabo captured these two images recently on the same morning—one of an amazing sky over the Bunker Hill Monument and the other of the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge reflected in the water. "The monument probably has been photographed from every angle every season and time of day, but this morning the sky was interesting so I just had to," Clabo said of the first image. "And then I walked down to the water and saw the the bridge reflection and couldn't resist." Got a great photograph of Charlestown?

That's what they originally thought, but the soil testing came back good, so they landscaped the park beautifully with large stone boulders, stone benches, trees strategically placed and they put up signs to pick up after your dogs! more ›
