Iconography
A tour of the icons - real and imagined - that define our sense of a place and that are defined by that place in turn. Season 1: England, Season 2: New England
The Citgo Sign and the Boston Marathon
Season 2 of Iconography begins with a look at the relationship between two New England icons - a marathon that's become not just the definitive marathon experience but perhaps the definitive Boston experience, and an advertisement that's transcended its commercial beginnings to become a symbol of civic pride.
In our attempt to figure out how the Citgo Sign was saved, we're joined by first-time Boston Marathon runner Andy Luce.
