It has been some time since I last posted a fun fact, but a new school year has begun, and this blog is ready for information!

 Raining Poetry

"If you're walking through Boston during a downpour, make sure to keep your eyes on the pavement. You might just see a poem appear before your eyes." 

"Raining Poetry," is an art installation resulting from a collaboration between the nonprofit Mass Poetry and the city of Boston.  The poems were created using stencils and a water-repellant spray.

 "The poems are invisible during dry, sunny weather. But they appear like magic once raindrops start falling from the sky. "

Here is an interesting video about the creator of Rainworks, the company that produces the water-repellant spray:
