Boston Socks
Description: The official logo of the House of Reformation, Boston's own reform school for boys on Rainsford Island in the city's harbor. Built in the 1890s, the school sought to educate the inmates with a variety of work which included farming, garment manufacturing and a print shop. Ultimately, the school shut down during the Great Depression of the 1930s.
Description: The No Name Restaurant was founded by Nick Contos in 1917 as a seafood stand meant to serve the fisherman who worked along Boston’s Fish Pier. He never named the restaurant, and while the space evolved and grew over the years, a proper name was never bestowed upon the business, hence how it became simply known as the 'No Name' for more than a century before suddenly closing up shop in 2019.
Description: WBCN 104.1 FM went on the air in 1958 as a classical music station in Boston, Massachusetts. In 1968, a new rock format was implemented that would stick around for the next 41 years. WBCN became a legend in the industry for breaking many new bands through an eclectic mix of modern, alternative, and classic rock genres, eventually becoming known as "The Rock of Boston." In addition to rock music, WBCN began supporting non-mainstream investigative reporting and alternative news coverage, including live reports from demonstrations and highly produced montage news reports. The 2000s saw older listeners leaving in droves, and WBCN played its last record shortly after midnight on August 12, 2009, leaving WBCN as a legend of American rock radio.
