REWIND: Allston Christmas with Matt Shearer
Oh how far we've come! I'm on vacation, so here's an oldie but a goodie — with a new intro!
On the first ever episode of "Explain Boston to Me," l learned about Allston Christmas, the smorgasbord of free curbside stuff that happens every September 1.
Explaining this phenomenon — and giving the overall scoop on Allston — is Matt Shearer, a reporter for WBZ News Radio. You might have heard him over the airwaves, but if you’re under 40 you’re probably more likely to have seen one of his viral “man on the street” segments pinging around the internet. Check him out @reportermatt on Instagram or @WBZnewsradio on TikTok.
