Authorities Investigating James "Whitey" Bulger's Connection to 1990 Thefts at Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum

This past weekend, while at a wedding in St. Louis, we got into a conversation with a former Bostonian about having visited his home town last fall. While listing the places we’d visited, he stopped when we’d mentioned touring the famous and soon-to-be-expanded Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. “Do they still have the section blocked off where the burglary took place?” They did, we told him. “Man,” he continued, “That was such a big deal when I was a kid.”
