    • Boston Freedom Trail
  • The Old North Church
  • by american_tourister

    • Favorite Thing: Walk the Freedom Trail. This is a stripe painted on the side walks that leads from Boston Commons to Bunker Hill. It passes by Paul Revere's house, the Old North Church, the site of the Boston Tea Party, etc. It is a long, long walk. Wear comfortable shoes.

    Fondest Memory: Having a conversation with the 'Sons of Italy.' I walked past on the Freedom Trail into the North End. Here were two guys standing outside who looked like extras from Goodfellas or the Godfather. I told them that I wished we had the Sons of Italy in Long Beach. They asked 'Whadda ya got?' I said we had the 'Sons of Cambodia, Sons of Vietnam, and the Iowa Picnic.' They laughed and told me that if we invited them they would come and clean out everyone to make it safe for Italians.

     I'm not sorry about what the Sox did to the Angels this year. As a matter of fact, I hope it happens again. I think the Yanks are done & the Angels are going to be the Sox's new foes. The Curse is over.    		bonio Sun Feb 16, 2003 12:16 UTC

     Boston has so much...but you need to dig through the layers to get into it. You could get lost in it..literally. Especially since the BIG DIG. :-)    		acemj Thu Aug 22, 2002 01:40 UTC
