4094 - Belmont, Massachusetts, United States

A photo of Fenway Park, home of the dreaded Boston Red Sox. Fenway Park opened on 20 April 1912. It has been renovated three times - 1988, 2002-2011, and 2017 - and expanded five times - 1934, 1946, 2002-2011, 2017, and 2022. It's been the home field for the Boston Red Sox since it opened. However, it has also been home to the Boston Braves (now the Atlanta Braves) (1914-15), the Boston Bulldogs of the American Football League (1926), the Boston Redskins of the National Football League (1933-36), the Boston Shamrocks of the American Football League (1936-37), the Boston Yanks of the National Football League (1944-48), the Boston Patriots of the American Football League (1963-68), and the Boston Patriots of the North American Soccer League (1968)

Fenway is famous for the Green Monster, a 11.329 m wall in the left field of the park. The scoreboard at the Green Monster is manually updated throughout the game. 

Fenway Park is named for being in the Fenway-Kenmore neighbourhood in Boston.

3566 - Bakhmach, Chernihiv, Ukraine

Bakhmach is locarted in northern Ukraine. I'm taking this next paragraph straight out of Wikipedia: During the  Russian invasion of Ukraine  on February 26, 2022, at least 65 units of Russian military equipment moved through Bakhmach, with about a hundred more on the outskirts. Local residents tried to stop the convoy on their own by blocking tank tracks with makeshift objects and convincing Russian soldiers not to move towards  Kyiv . One man attempted to climb onto a tank and block the road with his body (he was not hurt). However, the military equipment continued to move, and Russian forces fired several shots into the air. Слава Україні!
