BOSTON – A Google Maps blunder led to a historic first this past weekend as East Boston resident Charlie Riverdale was named the first ever non-tourist to ever step foot inside Quincy Market.
“I was just trying to grab some lunch and my phone took me to a strange building surrounded by bucket drummers and tour guides dressed like John Hancock. The cheapest sandwich in there was like 23 bucks so I left as fast as I could, but some family from Wisconsin still managed to sneak a selfie with me.”
City officials immediately spotted Riverdale and noted the unique occasion, as he was the only person in the Market not wearing a Harvard Sweatshirt or carrying a Freedom Trail map.
Although Quincy Market announced plans to commemorate the historic visit with a plaque and key gifting ceremony, Riverdale politely refused, adding he “never wants to come back here ever again.”
