Waltham Empire

I'm a big fan of HBO's "Boardwalk Empire," which stars Steve Buscemi. I also liked him in HBO's "The Sopranos," and movies including "Ghost World," "Fargo" and "The Big Lebowski."

So I was excited when on a recent drive through the neighboring town of Waltham I spied this:

Waltham Empire

In "Boardwalk Empire," Buscemi is the king of Atlantic City and its illegal casinos, speakeasies, theaters, cat houses and more. Here are a few shots of the empire that Waltham's S. Buscemi lords over....

  1. I love Steve Buscemi! I had no idea he was in Boardwalk Empire, but then again I do not watch a lot of television. Where exactly in Waltham was this? I love Waltham it is a beautiful place. Thank you for sharing.

    Hire a trusted Waltham lawyer.

  2. He's great in "Boardwalk Empire." The "S. Buscemi" apartment is on Pine Street, and the other shots are in the vicinity -- Elm St., Benefit St.
