On Wednesday, I went to a free concert at Lynn Park sponsored by the local BIA. I don't recall walking through this stretch of Danforth but it looked like gentrification has been going on here, too. Outside of hold-outs like Quattro Amici Café, it was mostly trendy shops and restaurants. So it was no surprised that the full crowd sitting on the grass at the park was well-established middle-aged couples with their young children.
I missed the opening act but head-liner The Pursuit of Happiness was setting up on stage. They went through all their hits. It was amusing to watch some toddlers rocking out as much as their parents. The teens seemed more bemused by these relic songs. Frontman Moe Berg joked that a show this early was better at his age and it also allowed his daughter to see him perform.
