[edit] Hood iconography
HP Hood is still a New England icon and their name and logo are well known. While Hood has vacated their large building along Interstate 93 in Somerville, the building is still referred to as "the Hood plant" by traffic reporters when commenting on the backups along I-93. And at the Boston Children's Museum, the outdoor ice cream stand takes the form of a large Hood Milk Bottle. The Hood blimp often appears at sport and cultural events, and it made news on September 26, 2006 when it came down in a wooded area near in Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts.[1]
