    Is this some kind of joke? I wanted to read about the molasses flood and there’s nothing here about it except a picture. Great job Dorothy.

      If you live in the Boston area you are familiar with this history. During hot summer nights you can still smell the molasses in some basments in the the North end. This link will explain the mess. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Molasses_Flood

    I see nothing about the picture of the molasses flood. Just the picture and caption. What happened there?

    There is no story to read? I have an ancestor who was killed in the Molasses Flood and was interested to see what Dorothy Smith had written, but there is only a photo on this page.

    You Dorothy carry my mother’s name, Dorothy Smith….so don’t lead me on. Where is the story. When I read up on you I was ultimately surprised you and my mom’s name the same. Please continue the “Molasses” article.

    I believe the molasses flood happened in the New England area(Boston peraps), in the 1920’s?.

    If you are from the Boston area you are familiar with this event. If you go to the North End during the hot summer nights you can still smell the molasses in the basements of some houses. This link will help https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Molasses_Flood

    Some of those vehicles look pretty old for an event that took place January of this year.
