    85282 AALL Spectrum.apr 3/26/04 12:00 PM Page 18 Pack Good Walking Shoes Boston is an eminently walkable city. In fact, you can span the main part of it during a leisurely stroll. This is perhaps the best way to see the sights up close and in a relaxed fashion. If you were to consider the city a hub, like Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. did, imagine the center of the hub being the convention center. (There actually is a plaque embedded in the pavement in a downtown location depicting the true center, but for convenience purposes we’ll assume the convention center as the starting point). Get familiar with the points of the compass, and follow along. You’ll only need a few hours in any direction to discover a world of intrigue and interest.
