Joe posted on Facebook about how Aerosmith's free street show today is happening right outside our old building. We lived at 1315 Commonwealth in The Peerless. One of the local rock stories is about how the next building over, 1325 Comm, was where Aerosmith lived when they were a local Allston band, too. I didn't walk over to Comm Ave, because I was at work, but I took a screen shot of the live feed while it was happening. I added an arrow so you can see where me 'n Joey would have been today, if we didn't move to Lower Allston two years ago.

| You know what would have been funny? If we still lived at 1315 Comm, but weren't aware of the Aerosmith event. Imagine waking up to this throng and Steven Tyler's voice outside. |

| The Peerless (1315 Commonwealth Avenue, Allston MA) This is a photo of our building from March 2010. I'd researched and was excited to find out that The Peerless would turn 100 years old in 2011. I'd started a private Facebook Group for the Peerless residents, like a combination "good neighbor" group and "history of the building" thing. But only one guy joined so I took it down. Then we moved. At least I made one new friend. |
