it wasnt like i stopped and starred at things for a while.

like art, i find it fascinating, but I also do not contemplate it for a long period of time. my brain is too chipmunkish for that.

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

  - 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
