About the time of Paul Revere's death in 1818 the street name Mechanic Street begins to appear on maps in Boston's North End. This narrow street, connecting what was then Middle Street and Fish Street, was also connected to Board Alley in the center, forming a ladder on some maps or an arch on others. Mechanic Street in Boston is barely a street anymore. One end was cut off when the Sumner Tunnel was constructed and the other is now outdoor seating for a restaurant. This location is on the Freedom Trail but it is not part of a tour, there is no historical marker. This is a block away from Revere's house but any connection to him is not drawn even though it easily could be. Mechanic in this context is unrelated to automobiles or garages. This is an archaic, old-world definition of Mechanic that refers to people who work with their hands in a number of skilled crafts. One might guess the name of this street is intended to reflect Boston's rising class of citizen artisans, but could it mean something much more in addition to that? Throughout the nineteenth century Mechanic Streets begin appearing in towns across Massachusetts, over 70 in fact, many with a very specific configuration. Is there a lost meaning in the street layout itself? In this episode of Lost Massachusetts we begin looking at the lost history of Mechanic street to see where it takes us.

Well, it appears our YouTube bug is back and that explains the delay in Ep 75 posting. Will it be working by the time this episode should publish? If you’re listening to me now on YT then yes! If not, then no. Ok, sidebar completed And now, ladies and gents of the Teen Canteen I give you… Episode 76, That’s the Spirit! It is a DBG from March 3rd, 1996 which I’ve titled “Proud Mary Keep On Talking.” Before the game begins there’s a discussion on what image should be placed on a postage stamp honoring Traffic Reporters as well as who should paint it? There are a couple of great suggestions. Of course, while this is going on the Tobin Bridge has partially collapsed, there’s a 700+ car pile-up, the Sumner Tunnel and Ted Williams Tunnels are no stranger to disaster here as well, but the game takes precedence over that trifling stuff. The players are: Ken Newman from Traffic The young whippersnapper, Michael Cannon who’s only 18, producing and playing. The stubborn and cantankerous Toni from Middletown, OH. The whispery and chatty Mary from Kittery, ME. And the hacking Al in Waltham. Bdays: Enzo Stuarti Lee Radziwell Ross – aka Caroline Lee Bouvier The saucy Ed Marinaro Jackie Joyner-Kersee Herschel Walker Event in history: In what year did The Star-Spangled Banner become the National Anthem of the United States? Did you know that Norm was in the area when the bombs were bursting in air? He was there in downtown Baltimore picking up girls when he looked up and the flag was still there. And he has proof through the night! Mary is so loquacious throughout the game. It provides a lot of entertainment including Norm revealing he’s telepathic and can sense fear and nausea. We are informed of a binding resolution that appears in the 700-page DBG Rule Book (now available on cd-rom!) Norm runs out of stuff and the tape runs out as well so good timing. The high-spirited Episode 76: “Proud Mary Keep On Talking” begins now.
