Meet the Mayor: Lansdowne Street
Welcome to "Meet the Mayor," a segment in which we interview local Foursquare Mayors in
their natural habitats.
Lansdowne Street
Heather Martin
So you're an accountant at the House of Blues. What have been your best
and worst experiences here on Lansdowne?
I'll start with worst. I saw a fight: two yah-bros going at
it, with backwards hats and everything. One punched the other into the street,
and a car came. Didn't hit him. Everything's fine, everything's great, but just
considering people could be that angry. . . . In this area,
there's a higher concentration of drunken jockocracy, which can lead to getting
hit by a car.
How ‘bout your best
experience?
My first concert at House of Blues, before I worked there,
was Hole. Courtney Love's ridiculousness set a tone that made me want to work
where I work. She pulled her dress up and showed everybody her designer
underwear.
Your all-time
favorite tourist encountered?
The ones with elastic waistband jean shorts and hip packs
stopping to take a picture of Fenway
Park. That's kind of
every day.
