Boston

Boston, Massachusetts, is a city that embraces its past while planning its future. The cradle of the Revolutionary War, it is filled with plaques, monuments, and buildings that celebrate the country's Founding Fathers and the Patriots who followed them. The John Hancock Tower, the tallest building in Boston, has the new name of 200 Clarendon, but still its original name sticks. Meanwhile, epic advances have been made. In transportation, the Big Dig added miles and miles of bridges and tunnels to help ease traffic on its highways. Boston Common was the first public park in the United States, and now an 1,100-acre chain of parks circles the city in an Emerald Necklace. Come see how Boston hangs on to precious traditions while changing with the march of time. Book jacket.
