Would any one here be interested in a pictorial tour of the "Freedon Trail" in Boston?
I live downtown and am going to take the tour and if there is enough interest, I will bring a camera and make pics available.
Whitey, Janis Joplin and Osama have coffee together every day at 'Borders'...
We went of the Freedom Trail back in 1997 and it was fantastic. Looking forward to the pics.
I just wish the city wasn’t populated by liberals.
Me too...It was always a democrat-dominated city, but in the past, this was represented by immigrants who worked significantly in unionized industries and had come from the “old country” literally dirt poor. While they were democrat, they had much of the independent, conservative and family-oriented nature that is republicanism...Now this has been replaced by the yuppie, college crowd and their whiny nanny-statism.
Oh Yes. Please do take pictures of your visit. We will look forward to your commentary too.
If you’re thinking of traveling to Boston but find the downtown hotels too expensive try the Motel 6 located in Braintree across the street from the Red Line T station. It’s half the price of the downtown hotels and very convenient, only a 20 minute subway ride to downtown Boston. A shopping center with a grocery store and restaurants is a half mile from the motel.
The subway system goes everywhere. It’s easy to get around without a car.
would love to see the pictures of the trail. please freepmail me when/where they will be available!
Little known is the military/family YMCA located over near Old Ironsides. If you have any kind of military ID this place is cheap, safe, clean and 5 minutes across the bridge from the North End.
Oh, and I would love to see the pictures.
Is the area that I mentioned around Charlestown a safe place to walk?
I could mapquest it but I dunno how to post it here.
I’m not familiar with the area of Charlestown you mentioned, but the historic area of Charlestown including Bunker Hill is very safe. The area is always full of tourists. I spent three days in Boston riding the subway and walking the Freedom Trail and never once felt unsafe. Stay in the historic areas and you’ll be fine.
