Commonwealth Avenue & Citgo Sign

avatar
@joethommas
Even though there isn't a Citgo gas station along Commonwealth Avenue, the double-faced sign has become a landmark in Boston ever since it was originally built in 1940. See the massive sign aglow at blue hour, complemented by the historic buildings along the street and the full trees from Kenmore Block.
