    • Faneuil Hall has been used as a meeting hall since the 1700s. Following the war of independence and, eventually, Boston becoming a city, it was no longer used as a government meeting place. Presently, the lower level of Faneuil Hall is a marketplace with expensive shops and unimpressive restaurants. The second floor is a meeting hall where many city debates are held.

    Faneuil Hall is good for a walk through if you're into architecture or historic places. But, for shopping or eating, skip it. Just grab a cup of Starbucks and continue on.

     Yup Yup. Driving in Boston is awful. All those one way streets don't help either.    		rwlittle Mon Mar 7, 2005 23:03 UTC
     Some of us Bostonian drivers are just...confused. But that's because we're transplants--bad driving skills weren't taught to us in elementary school, like they were for the locals! ;)
