Boston's Bronze Middle Finger: A Toast to Curley

At where Congress and North intersect, Boston, Massachusetts, stands a pair of imposing bronze thumbs. These aren't ordinary statues - they belong to James Michael Curley. With two stints as mayor, two prison terms, and two waves of adoration from The People, Curley kicked off his political career at a youthful 29. In Roxbury, a city within a city, he served as a constable, librarian, and young mayor before ascending to the top. The grand statue on North Street captures our man in all his glory, while the seated statue across the way portrays a defiant, youthful Curley, with his middle finger raised, much like the man himself.
