Wowsa. I didn't know what to expect from this film. And I would NEVER have predicted how The Last Winthrop would morph from that British lineage to...well, [SPOILERS].

DNA vs family vs culture. Again, those #Ancestry tests pull back the veils in surprising ways.

Did you know that Porter Square in Cambridge may share its name origins with porterhouse steak?

Both are named after Zachariah B. Porter, the long-time proprietor of Porter's Hotel, which stood at the eponymously named intersection from 1831-1909.

The hotelier was known for serving fresh cuts of beef from the adjacent slaughterhouses, notably a bone-in strip steak with a large tenderloin filet.
