Episode 39
In 1919, a wall of molasses washed through the North End. I don't think we talk about this enough! In this episode, we're talking with Lisa Mullan Perkins of Uwila Warrior about this sticky incident and its impact on the city. Plus, my pitch for the next great HBO Miniseries, working title: Sweet Nightmares: The Great Molasses Flood.
We've also got an update on my emotional state and a lot of questions about Wally, the Red Sox's wall-dwelling mascot.
