North End Chill
Boston's North End, 1919: A rusty steel molasses tank looms ominously over cobblestone streets lined with brick tenements and wooden storefronts bearing 'Purity Distilling Co.' signs. Workers dressed in wool newsboy caps and suspenders shovel coal, their breath visible in the cold January air. A horse-drawn cart loaded with barrels stands beneath the tank. The driver, bundled in a heavy overcoat, shouts to a woman in a long skirt and shawl carrying groceries. The overcast skies paint a gray-blue tone to the scene, steam escapes gently from factory chimneys, while icy puddles and peeling paint add to the scene’s tension.
