Arriving in style
What do Miley Cyrus and Santa Claus have in common? They arrive in Boston by helicopter. According to Julie Burns, the city’s director of arts, tourism, and special events, Cyrus is one of the only artists to arrive in Boston’s North End by helicopter before a TD Garden performance. Even U2 manages to take a regular car to the venue. “Maybe Elton John did it, but that would have been years ago,’’ Burns said, explaining that Cyrus had to make the dramatic landing in the North End’s Puopolo Park on Monday so that she could make it from New York to the Garden in time for her afternoon sound check. Burns said the next time a famous person lands in Puopolo Park by helicopter, it will be Santa Claus - for a city holiday event next month.
