The Greater Boston Bigfoot Research Institute
826 Boston is home to the Greater Boston Bigfoot Research Institute, an institute dedicated to research in the field of cryptozoology. Fondly known as the GBBRI, it offers for sale field equipment for cryptozoological research, high quality specimens, and a selection of publications by both 826 Boston and the other 826 chapters. Highlights in its inventory include unicorn tears, field notebooks, a vast array of teeth, bigfoot toenails, respectacles, high quality field cookware, and fashionable cryptozoological wear.
To enter 826 Boston, you must pass through the GBBRI; there is a secret passageway from the store into the writing center, known only to official, registered members of the Greater Boston Bigfoot Research Institute Research Team.

“Even like two little bank-dividing brooks,
That wash the pebbles with their wanton streams,
And having ranged and searched a thousand nooks,
Meet both at length in silver-breasted Thames
Where in a greater current they conjoin:
So I my Best-Beloved’s am, so he is mine.”
—Francis Quarles (1592–1644)
“In Boston they ask, “How much does he know?” In New York, “How much is he worth?” In Philadelphia, “Who were his parents?””
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“One of the most important findings to come out of our research is that being where you want to be is good for you. We found a very strong correlation between preferring the role you are in and well-being. The homemaker who is at home because she likes that “job,” because it meets her own desires and needs, tends to feel good about her life. The woman at work who wants to be there also rates high in well-being.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
“Whenever any form of government shall become destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, & to institute new government, laying it’s foundation on such principles & organising it’s powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety & happiness.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
