Through his discerningPUBLISHERS PROPERTY OF TWIN LIGHTS PUBLISHERS eye, lifestyles — both past and present — are brought forth in detail, from Adams National Historic Park to Plimoth Plantation. Boston’s South Shore is unpretentious, a mix of suburban towns and industrial small cities that, with all their unique offerings, have somehow managed to avoid the massive throngs of tourists that flock to the North Shore, or further south to Cape Cod.
