Enjoy the weekend and thanks for stopping by to check out my blog.
I’m not much of a fan of going to the movies, but this true story of the 1973 tennis match between Billie Jean King and douchebag Bobby Riggs, may actually get me to go to the theater.
Emma Stone looks very believable as King and Steve Carroll appears every bit as obnoxious as Riggs who unfortunately also happens to remind me of another DB who currently lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

The “Hat Sisters” at the Esther Williams Water Ballet at Herring Cove 1985
Approximately one year ago on September 24, 2016, John Michael Grey (shown far left) who was one half of The Hat Sisters passed away. Grey is survived by his partner Timothy O’Connor. I wanted to share this photo which is part of a larger grouping of very happy photos of this wonderful couple on a Facebook page dedicated to the legacy of Grey and the Hat Sisters.
I dedicate this weekly post, featuring vintage gay photographs, to the men and women who lived in a more critical time where being true to yourself and loving who you want wasn’t always an option and came at a great price. Do you have a photo you would like to share? Email me at bosguymail@gmail.com.
A new office building that would be constructed on top of an existing three-story parking garage (shown above) was recently approved. After construction the eleven story building will be approximately 150 feet tall, include 200,000+ square feet of office space and and approximately 240 parking spaces along with 2,500 square feet of retail or gallery space on the street level. Changes / enhancements will also be made to the shared lobby that connects to 1000 Washington Street (once known as the Teradyne building).
Something described as a glass curtainwall facade will have large Roman numerals III II I (3 2 1) incorporated into the side of the building facing the Massachusetts Turnpike, indicating its address 321 Harrison Avenue.
For more information you can visit the Boston Planning & Development Agency page dedicated to 321 Harrison Avenue.
Hopefully the caption below inspires you to share a caption or two of your own. Bonus points to anyone who can make me laugh with their caption.
I don’t care if you don’t like yellow. You have to wear it.
On Saturday, September 23rd at 10AM thousands of people will head to the Boston Common to help establish a Guinness World Record title to support the Children’s Services of Roxbury campaign called (CSR) “Peace of Mind”. CSR believes that peace begins and ends with building strong, nurturing family environments and they hope to assemble over 6,000 people to form the world’s largest human peace sign on the Boston Common.
Want to learn more? Visit their site where you can also register to participate ($10 donation suggested), World’s Largest Human Peace Sign.
If it is a black and white photo it must be art, right?
