Incredibly moving, indeed. Boston collectively exhaled after Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was captured. Today, they continue to gather to mourn and heal together.

An impromptu memorial was set up at Boylston and Berkeley Streets, and it is growing daily. People are gathering from early morning through late at night.
