First and foremost, we are deeply saddened by tragic events at the Boston Marathon yesterday.  Our thoughts and deepest sympathies go out to all of those affected.  Our Boston location is in Copley Square and thankfully everyone from AAPT is safe and sound.

The Copley area is still closed off and will be at least through tomorrow, so AAPT Boston will remain closed for now.

Please stay connected with us via this blog, Facebook, and Twitter for regular updates.

Thank you.
