The Story Behind the Scroll

Scrolls & Strolls has captivated thousands of people

But this Boston walking tour started Alone

During the COVID crisis, most people fled city life. But a boy from Tennessee, Arturas Malinauskas (aka Party Arty), did the opposite. He moved to Boston for an In-Person engineering role at Amazon Robotics. Subletting an apartment downtown, Arty wandered Boston’s eerily quiet streets everyday. With no one around, he noticed all sorts of odd details; tiny plaques, faded signs, quirky bricks. Like puzzle pieces, they begged to be put into a bigger picture of Boston’s transformations. more pieces led down rabbit holes with thousands of historic photos, maps, and memories. As the world reopened, a Boston team building event offered Arty a chance to share the stunning pictures he found with his Amazon coworkers.

From a portable monitor duct taped to an iPad, his team was amazed to see centuries of Boston’s transformations around them! Since then, Arty dreamed of ways to share that magic with more people. Within a year he resigned to chase the American dream! Today Arturas leads tours on weekends and is building Breezey Machines during the day.
