This small memorial is so easy to miss, situated as it is by the marathon's finish line on Boylston St, but it's a sobering testament to the bombing victims and a reminder that things can change in a heartbeat.

Beautifully done to honor the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings. Somber and sobering moment when you realize you’ve seen that exact area many times caught on camera.

Basically while walking along Boylston Street, there will be a small monument that seemingly randomly jutting outto the road. It turns out those were the sites of the Boston Marathon bombings. It was pretty non-descript, and may be intentional to do so.

Located near the marathon finish line, the memorial serves as a reminder to the bombing event. It is well done and worth the stop when passing by the area.

The memorial is near the Boston public library. I bet it’s very nice at night lit up. It’s worth the quick stop if you’re near the BPL.
