Boston

I had nothing creative to say this evening, but still wanted to say something. So I looked to my picture collection for something to inspire me. Well, here it is. This is my big brother, Chris, last September in his fave city, Boston. In the background is the new Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge (had to look that one up), part of the "big dig" which was I guess was a big, bungling mess. Anyway, this bridge was designed to mirror the shape of the Bunker Hill monument (top photo). Nifty, huh? To the left of Chris is the new TD Banknorth Garden. I'm having a bit of confusion here, but I think this replaced the Boston Garden, also known as the Fleet Center. I do remember Chris explaining that the new arena was built about one foot from the old building, which was later demolished. Chris enjoys all this construction trivia, as he is a civil engineer in the area, working with pre-cast concrete. He can talk about a parking garage forever. I have probably screwed this all up, but I'm a social worker, and wasn't paying that much attention, nor do I have the patience to research it all.
