A new pop-up shop from Delta featuring unique items from different Bostons around the world is here to prove that, well, you never have to. Love this Boston? Try another Boston by visiting The Boston to Boston Souvenir Truck shop, open 11 am to 6 pm starting Sept. 19 through Sept. 21 with stops at:
