Reply #66: Nothing out of the ordinary [View All]

We kind of had a big year last year. (Patriots won, DNC was here, Red Sox won, Ahm, some sorrow as well. We had a local guy almost go, nevermind.)

Just Beantown, in the summer. 4th of July concert with the Boston Pops on the Esplanade. Could be a cool summer, like last year, or a steamy blast furnace like the year before. Don't know yet. Freedom trail, Senate office building in Bowdoin Square, near Govt Center. Faneuil Hall, hmm, sad and not sad. Quincy Market where you can still get cookies from the store that Kerry started with his mother's cookie recipe (under different management, of course.)

Take the train up to Rockport, hang out at Bear Skin Neck. Eat at one of my favorite restaurants overlooking The Point. Go to Salem, see the fake history sites and the real thing. Maybe take a trip to The Cape (go during the week, weekend traffic is wicked.) Freedom Trail. Black Heritage Trail. Beacon Hill tours, including the special hidden garden ones. Louisburg Square, wicked narrow streets. The North End. Lots and lots of good bars. Fenway Park. Back Bay.

I might be able to find something for folks to do. Tempt me.
