Spotted in Boston: Bigfoot Research Institute

posted by Noah at 9:00 AM

In my ongoing quest to visit all of the 826 Stores I managed to stop by the Greater Boston Research Institute on the one day I had to explore Boston on a recent trip up there. Sadly it was a Sunday and the Institute was closed, but even from the outside it was very entertaining. For those of you that aren't familiar with the 826 project it was created, in part by author Dave Eggars, to facilitate creative writing programs for kids. The first location was 826Valencia and its adjoining Pirate Store in San Francisco.
Like the other stores the space is not in the center of town and none of my friends in the area had even heard of it! Needless to say my friends that brought me there, plan to go back when it's open to get some official GBRI tin cups and specimen jars!

Seriously, if anyone wants to start an 826 program in Richmond, VA or nearby I'm officially volunteering to do the design work!
