Fenway’s Faithful Return Battered But Not Broken
The Boston Red Sox would play a game against the Kansas City Royals Saturday, one day removed from a citywide manhunt that shut Boston down entirely.
A man reached out from the stream of people making the trek from Kenmore Station to Fenway Park Saturday morning to shake the hand of a military police officer standing guard. “God bless you,” he said meaningfully. The Boston Red Sox would play a game against the Kansas City Royals beginning at 1 p.m. The three-game series against the Royals was supposed to begin Friday night, but the game was postponed while the city was in lockdown mode as a manhunt for the second suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings ensued. Boston rejoiced after that suspect, Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, was arrested in Watertown just before 9 p.m. Friday. As Kenmore Square awoke Saturday morning there was a feeling of calm amid significantly heightened security. Boston …

Peabody Marathoner and Bystander Reflect on Their Experiences Monday
More stories from Peabody residents at the Boston Marathon on Monday.
If Peabody's Brian Barrett is feeling one thing in the days after the tragedy, it's anger.

Celebration Turns to Total Shock for Peabody Marathoner Katrina Gravel
For Peabody's Katrina Gravel, fresh off completing her first Boston Marathon, exhilaration turned to shock Monday afternoon after learning of the explosions.
What should have been an exhilarating day, turned into a complete shock for Katrina Gravel and her family. Gravel, 24, had just run her first Boston Marathon on Monday -- the first across the line from Peabody that day, in fact -- and celebrated with her parents Dave and Cathy Gravel and fiance Dan Vassallo, who were all waiting for her at the finish line in Copley Square. After hanging around for a bit and collecting her things, Gravel and family left for Peabody before 2:30 p.m. It wasn't until they arrived home and turned the TV on to watch the news that they learned of the two explosions that erupted shortly after they left the race. "All that I could think was that I was literally just there," she recalled Tuesday afternoon. "It was …
