The modern MTA Crown rivalry between the Alewife Arsonists and Boylston Boogers had its fuse lit not by a match, but by a mosaic. In a grand act of civic arrogance, the Boylston Boogers unveiled a massive, permanent tile map in their station. The Boogers had commissioned the work from Bartholomew Peabody Finch, a celebrated (and notoriously smug) artist from Wellesley; it was a masterpiece of passive aggression. It depicted the Green Line as a thick, vibrant artery of emerald and gold tile, pulsing with life. In stark contrast, the Red Line was rendered as a thin, pathetic capillary of cracked crimson ceramic that withered and fizzled into a gray, featureless smudge at Alewife. This public insult, the Cartographic Defamation was the moment the "GO BACK TO WELLESLEY!" chant was first spat in fury.
