The beginning of Spring would normally have Boston streets bustling with locals and visitors taking in the season after a long Winter. As the business shutdowns and stay-at-home advisories associated with the COVID-19 outbreak have gone into effect, the streets are very quiet with very few moving vehicles, and only a smattering of social distancing locals walking around. All the tourist and community sites are nearly abandoned as shown in these photos from around town.

Beyond the empty streets, some of the city's landmarks have been reflecting the strange times. Tony DeMarco, 1955 welterweight boxing champ, wears a mask and Superman shirt while the Boston Harbor Hotel at Rowes Wharf takes part in the #LoveFromBoston campaign displaying a heart in its empty hotel rooms at night.
