BOSTON
BY DEBBIE EMERY
Boston’s Downtown District
PLENTY OF CLICHÉS SPRING TO MIND WHEN YOU THINK OF BOSTON: WICKED PASSIONATE
SPORTS FANS, CLAM CHOWDA, THE “CHEERS” BAR AND A LOVE OF EVERYTHING IRISH.
BUT BEYOND WHAT YOU’VE SEEN IN EVERY BEN AFFLECK, MATT DAMON OR MARK WAHLBERG
MOVIE OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS, THERE ARE COUNTLESS HIDDEN BOSTON GEMS (DON’T CALL
IT BEANTOWN IF YOU WANT TO FIT IN!) AND THERE IS NO BETTER TIME TO ENJOY THEM THAN THE
FALL. FOLLOWING THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY OF THE SUMMER, BEFORE THE BRAIN-DESTROYING
BLIZZARDS OF THE WINTER, AUTUMN IS A MAGICAL TIME OF BREATHTAKING CRIMSON, ORANGE
AND GOLD FOLIAGE ADORNING EVERY STREET AND PARK OF THE CITY.
