- 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
    - I did not -hopefully next time -- nm - Epiphany Jan 29, 07:07 1

    - 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
