First impressions; a green leafy canopy of trees, great billowing clouds against a soft blue sky, rows of red brick houses, cobbled passages, the most gracious people…
And speaking of whom, you must check out something quite fascinating in progress, a book by William Kuhn —
These pictures are giving me a rush of nostalgia… I used to work near the neighborhood these pictures were taken in – I’ll avoid naming the area in case you are concerned. So many memories… I hope you are having a blast!
It is enchanting here! Seriously. I love it. Having come from a car culture it is a rush to walk to the market, restaurants, THE BOSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY…sorry…using my indoor voice…I am over the moon…
The BPL is certainly worthy of all caps typing! Be sure to check out The UFood Grill at downtown crossing. The make excellent Bison burgers. Keep your ears open for Stemming John (“Can you spare any change” he’ll say over and over in a voice you will never mistake for anyone else!) and be sure to say hello to Stuart Diamond as he preaches on Boston Common.
Look out Boston, Vickie Lester’s in town nd nothing will be the same again! Have a Great Time in a Great City, Queen Vickie.
Oh, and I LOVE the work of John Singer Sargent! He is probably my Favorite Artist (capital Eff, capital Ay!). Sublime.

Wonderful city, Boston. Enjoy! And catch that robber while you are there, please!
They must be on the brink, don’t you think with the recent news?
I hope so!
