it wont be a long stop (no tour) but I will.

one of the people I am traveling with (work people) is a history buff, and they are the one who suggested we stop today just to take photos, see it.

- oh sure, i love history, but I am never overwhelmed by it. I loved walking the freedom trail in boston, but -- (edited) - Truman Jan 29, 06:15 11
  - I expected the Freedom Trail to look more historic ( unrealistic I know), you will think the grassy knoll should be bigger - Epiphany Jan 29, 06:30 10
    - Did you go to Bunker "Hill"? - Mel Profit Jan 29, 06:57 2

      - people in those Lux Condos need their coffee, pal. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 29, 06:57
      - yeah, i get why stuff like that is there (all those tourists) its just too bad that they couldnt have had those places and yet hidden - Truman Jan 29, 06:35 4
        
        I get it too but I'm with you in thinking maybe they could have done a better job of keeping the area around the historic sites looking less modern. - Krusty Jan 29, 06:39 3
        
        Boston struggled/struggles with growth vs. preservation like a lot of cities. - Mel Profit Jan 29, 07:02 2
        
        I know it well as it's the same here and it just angers me more often than not. Could you recommend a book about Boston through the years? -- nm - Krusty Jan 29, 07:14 1
        
        There's a bunch of coffee table books of Then/Now pictures of Boston. Next time you're hear, I'll show what I have. - Mel Profit Jan 29, 07:27
I couldn't imagine not stopping there for at least a brief moment. - Krusty Jan 29, 06:06 2
- it was just that sort of day earlier this week - Truman Jan 29, 06:13 1
  - Those days where your head betrays you are hard to deal with sometimes. - Krusty Jan 29, 06:31
