A traffic cone from Scotland was given a warm welcome in Boston, symbolizing the friendship between the two cities formed during the World Cup. The cone, which was inscribed with the phrase ‘No Boston, No Party’, was greeted by Governor Maura Healey and Mayor Michelle Wu at Logan International Airport.
A Symbol of Friendship
The traffic cone, which flew first class to Boston, was part of a tradition started by Scottish fans who placed cones on statues during the World Cup. The cone was placed on Glasgow’s most famous statue, an equestrian piece depicting the Duke of Wellington, and became a viral sensation.
Healey and Wu signed the cone, which is part of a sister city partnership between Boston and Glasgow. The ceremony was also an opportunity to raise the Scottish flag at the airport’s Hall of Flags, which had not been represented until then.
