The Great Flood of Boston
■ · By Hannah Bee · Published 12 months ago
Constructor's Note
This mini's theme is a nod to one of my favorite historical events: a flood in Boston, Mass. that took place in 1919 (the best detail of which I elude to in the circles on the grid). This theme was inspired by this past Sunday's NYT crossword puzzle (3/27/22) which also featured a historical theme, The Great Pyramids of Giza. I would highly recommend you check it out, it is way cooler than this little ode I just whipped together. As always, would love any feedback and happy solving!

- This was a fun mini and I really enjoyed the theme! Definitely a weird event in the annals of history. For feedback, this is really nitpicky but next time for 6A6AAn acid's opposite[-----]you might want to consider clueing based on the dictionary definition of ABASE6AAn acid's opposite[-----]as extra leading A/THEs are often avoided unless part of a specific idiom or phrase.
