[Keane]

A Boston resident recently found a 126 year old liquor bottle with a mysterious message inside it.


Mysterious message in a bottle found 126 years later hidden inside wall of Back Bay building - The Boston Globe

Sadly, just a paywall for me, unless that's the secret message???

126-year-old message in a bottle found inside Boston wall

Fascinating! Well, for starters, information about the building itself from Wiki.
" Back Bay is an officially-recognized neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, built on reclaimed land in the Charles River basin. Construction began in 1859, as the demand for luxury housing exceeded the availability in the city at the time, and the area was fully built by around 1900."

PS. I just noticed that the article in last post says 'Black Bay' but I'm thinking they might've meant 'Back Bay?' If I'm wrong, correct me

It's Back Bay!

The first person to make a joke related to a certain song by The Police gets a wet noodle. ;p

Pundits might point to Roxbury's Nubian Square (formerly Dudley Square) as a likely candidate for "Black Bay."

Either way, this '6 on Shea' message sounds like a bet on a horse or somethin' and perhaps a big loss caused it to end up in an emptied whiskey bottle
