Confess, Fletch is a very wryly funny film and had a lot of fun Boston locations to point at. Jon Hamm does a great job. Recommend! #MovieRecommendation #Boston #Comedy #ConfessFletch

This pair of listening sessions on the #GardenStreet project is certain to attract ample disgruntled drivers and parkers (I should know... some of my relatives will be among them).

Cyclists and other #SafeStreets advocates should make themselves known, and show their support for the city’s planning.

Got some Xmas shopping done at the Snowport Winter Market! Busy and jam packed with cool vendors and snacks!

Happy #Thanksgiving! If you'd like to learn more about 17th Century New England history, the truth of the first Thanksgiving, and the rarely taught devastating Metacom's War, I recommend the highly readable "Mayflower" by Nathaniel Philbrick. It's well researched and reads as a narrative, rather than densely academic. #KnowYourHistory!

For #skyline junkies, the new #StateStreet tower at Government Center is just barely visible from #FreshPond over the water treatment building. The curved point at the peak is certainly a unique feature.

Lots of migrating Ring-Billed Ducks on #FreshPond right now. Only have my phone camera, but managed to snap one going for a dive.

Capt. John Parker led the Minutemen on Lexington Green on April 19 1775, sparking the shootout that initiated the American War of Independence.

Did you know that his grandson Theodore Parker was deeply involved in the radical abolitionist organization that funded John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry in 1859?

Seems that the revolutionary spirit ran deep in the Parker family!
