POE RETURNING TO BOSTON STATUE (corner of Charles and Boylston streets): Unveiled in 2014 near his birthplace in what is now known as Edgar Allan Poe Square, this street-level bronze by Stefanie Rocknak depicts the writer in full stride, complete with a raven, a human heart and a case from which his manuscripts fly. FORT INDEPENDENCE (Castle Island, 2010 Day Blvd., South Boston, 617-727-5290): During Poe’s time in the army, the nascent writer served here in 1827, the same year he published his first work. Allegedly, a legend that he heard here inspired his infamous story, 1846’s “The Cask of Amontillado.” BOSTON COMMON FROG POND (bostonfrogpond.com): Poe facetiously referred to Boston’s literary establishment as “Frogpon- dians” due to their constant croaking criticism. Although this seasonal spray pool/ice skating rink doesn’t resemble even remotely the original site with which Poe was familiar, it can still be visited today, complete with bronze frog statues and a playground sure to appeal to kids. BOSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY (refer to listing, page 42): Not just a place to check out his books, the BPL also houses a bronze bust of the author in the Johnson building of its Copley Square branch, which was placed due to the efforts of such hor- ror icons as Peter Straub, Guillermo del Toro, Neil Gaiman and George R.R. Martin, among others. On November 4 at 1 p.m. in Rabb Hall, check out a screening of Edgar Allan Poe: Buried Alive, followed by a talk with filmmaker Eric Stange and local Poe scholar Paul Lewis. —Scott Roberto BOSTONGUIDE.COM 5 FINNISH FLAVOR A co-production with Great Britain’s Royal Ballet, Boston Ballet’s season opener Obsidian Tear (refer to listing, page 16)—November 3–12 at the Boston Opera House—has a decidedly Nordic slant. The title dance features music by Finnish composer Esa-Pekka Salonen as well as an orchestral performance of the late Finnish composer Jean Sibelius’ tone poem “Finlandia” and the world premiere of Fifth Symphony of Jean Sibelius by the company’s resident choreographer, Finland native Jorma Elo—who, not so coincidently, was appointed in 2005 by current Boston Ballet Artistic Director, the Finland-born Mikko Nissinen. The ballet from which the program takes its title—a North American premiere featuring nine male dancers—was choreographed by Royal Ballet Resident Choreographer Wayne McGregor and premiered to wide acclaim in London last year. HOOP DREAMS The Boston Celtics (refer to listing, page 19) WHAT BOSTON’S BUZZING ABOUT made national headlines this offseason with their blockbuster moves, primarily the trade that 10.23.17 brought former Cleveland Cavaliers superstar Kyrie Irving (pictured, far left) to Beantown. Add to that the signing of forward Gordon Heyward (right) and a talented young core, and expectations are sky-high for the new NBA season in the Hub. See for yourself if the Cs live up to the hype when they return to the TD Garden for the second home game of the 2017–2018 campaign against the archrival New York Knicks on October 24. Other upcoming games include contests against the San Antonio Spurs (October 30) and the Sacramento Kings (November 1). 6 PANORAMA HUBBUB ABOVE PHOTO: ANDREJ USPENSKI MURAKAMI AND THE MASTERS The latest display of Japanese art at the Museum of Fine Arts (refer to listing, page 22), Takashi Murakami: Lineage of Eccentrics, takes a time-travelling approach to art, featuring a dialogue between the paintings and sculptures of contemporary artist Murakami and classic works from the MFA’s renowned collection. The pop art- and manga-influenced Murakami worked with Japanese art historian Professor Nobuo Tsuji to select an eye-popping array of Murakami’s own pieces that reflect on the masterpieces that hang nearby, including the 13th century Heiji Scroll, one of the most famous Japanese works of art not in a Japanese museum, and Soga Shōhaku’s stunning, 35-foot-long Dragon and Clouds from 1763. GOOD SPORTS For those who can’t make it to Canton, Ohio to visit the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the new exhibit Gridiron Glory at the Museum of Science (refer to listing, page 23) is the perfect opportunity for pigskin fans to bask in the glow of memorabilia from the game’s greatest players and moments. Consisting of more than 200 objects from the Hall of Fame’s collection, along with video and interactive displays, this show takes a broad overview, chronicling the evolution of the ultra-popular sport over the decades. The local team, defending NFL champs the New England Patriots, gets plenty of love as well, as its remarkable history is incorporated into the fabric of this exhilarating travelling exhibition. ONE FOR THE BOOKS For the ninth year, the free Boston Book Festival (refer to listing, page 18) comes to Copley Square with a stellar lineup of authors who lead panels, give lectures and read from their latest works. Officially opening October 28, the event nevertheless kicks off the night prior with a special reading at Old South Meeting House (refer to listing, page 49) featuring four speakers, including former NFL player and astronaut Leland Melvin. The next day, talents ranging from thriller writer and former Bostonian Dennis Lehane (pictured) and children’s book author Lemony Snicket to acclaimed Hub chefs/ cookbook creators Joanne Chang and Karen Akunowicz appear at a variety of venues, accompanied by a Copley Square street fair from 11 a.m.–5 p.m. boasting independent publishers, local arts organizations, food vendors and a kids area. —Scott Roberto TOP: TAKASHI MURAKAMI, AND THEN, AND THEN AND THEN AND THEN AND THEN / ORIGINAL BLUE, 2006; BOTTOM PHOTO: GABY GERSTER BOSTONGUIDE.COM 7 PANORAMA’s GUIDE TO HALLOWEEN IN BOSTON From spooky to silly, the Boston area has a variety of ways to get in the spirit (pun intended) of the season BY SCOTT ROBERTO Dreamland Wax Museum Although not horror-themed, this recently opened attraction should make for a particularly fun visit this time of year. Filled with likenesses of local and international celebrities and historical figures, Dreamland is selfie central, as visitors are encouraged to get up-close-and- personal with the works of art on display.

  • Secret Side of London Scavenger Hunt
    Secret Side of London Scavenger Hunt What better way to celebrate The Senior Section Spectacular than by exploring one of the greatest cities in the world! London is full of interesting places, monuments and fascinating museums, many of which are undiscovered by visitors to our capital city. This scavenger hunt is all about exploring a side to London you might never have seen before… (all these places are free to visit!) There are 100 Quests - how many can you complete and how many points can you earn? You will need to plan your own route – it will not be possible to complete all the challenges set in one day, but the idea is to choose parts of London you want to explore and complete as many quests as possible. Read through the whole resource before starting out, as there are many quests to choose from and bonus points to earn… Have a great day! The Secret Side of London Scavenger Hunt resource was put together by a team of Senior Section leaders in Hampshire North to celebrate The Senior Section Spectacular in 2016. As a county, we used this resource as part of a centenary event with teams of Senior Section from across the county all taking part on the same day. We hope this resource might inspire other similar events or maybe just as a way to explore London on a unit day trip…its up to you! If you would like a badge to mark taking part in this challenge, you can order a Hampshire North County badge designed by members of The Senior Section to celebrate the centenary (see photo below).
