Back Bay's Pride Party Continues Despite Construction
Neighborhood leaders weren't about to see the customary last event of Pride Week canceled because of construction.

Boston's Pride's Back Bay Block Party on Sun, June 10 from 12-8 p.m., has been moved from Stuart Street to St. James Avenue this year due to construction.
Work on the new Liberty Mutual tower threatened to interfere with the customary last event of Pride Week, but neighborhood residents and business made sure that didn't happen.
“In particular, the leadership of the Back Bay Business Association was very supportive, who made it clear that they weren’t going to let us go," said Linda DeMarco, president of Boston Pride.
