People in Boston Need to Relax About the ‘Boston Henge’
Sometimes social media does good - positive stories, learning about amazing people, locations, etc.
But the opposite is certainly true also. Social media does harm - spreading lies, "cancel culture," and even fake imaging and use of AI.
Recently, videos on social media have been surfacing of people in Boston stopping traffic and causing chaos in the streets over the "Boston Henge."
This is pretty ridiculous...
A henge is a prehistoric monument that often consists of a circle of stone or wooden uprights.
So when the sun passes through a henge, sometimes once or twice a year, a mass amount of people go and try to capture the picturesque moment.
For example, the Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England.
A gorgeous phenomenon...sure.
Then there is the Manhattan Henge in NYC. If you thought there was traffic in Boston, look at what NYC looks like.
So when I found out there was traffic, people in the street, and chaos around the "Boston Henge" I had to look to see if the timed sunset was worth all of the commotion...
Spoiler...it is not.
