  • Where to Go When Ya Gotta Go: the Best Public Restrooms That Boston
    Where to go when ya gotta go: The best public restrooms that Boston has to offer One of the perils of touring around a city is trying to find conveniently located bathrooms. While there is always a McDonald’s or Burger King, most fast food emporiums insist you be a customer and even then you have to request somebody to unlock the door. Regular restaurants aren’t very happy either having tourists tromp through their dining establishment. So it’s always good to know where any public restrooms are located so you can better plan your journey. As a public service, here’s a list of Boston’s better placed FREE public restrooms. The Boston Public Library on Dartmouth Street in Copley Square. Enter the main building, go by the security equipment and check-in desk, take a left before the stairs and follow the signs (which will direct you to take a right at the end of the corridor and then a left), Check out the lions guarding the elegant stairway going up to the main reading rooms. After the pressure is off, take a walk through the lovely center courtyard. Of course, if you’re lucky enough to be staying in one of Copley Square’s great hotels – like the Marriott Copley Place, Westin Copley Place, The Lenox or Fairmount Copley Plaza - you only need to go there to appreciate the architecture. Open 9 AM – 5 PM Monday-Saturday (longer during the summer) and 1 PM – 5 PM Sundays. The “New” State House on Beacon Street atop Beacon Hill.

Alone Club' explains the purpose of its association: namely, to 'look for something which is getting along perfectly well and then,-just let it alone!'" The butcher stalls on the ground floor of Faneuil Hall are a case in point. As they have been "getting along perfectly well" for upwards of two centuries, many Bostonians feel that they are the ideal project for the "Let-it-Alone Club." Since the appearance of the last issue of A therueum Items, in which the views of the Massachusetts Histori­ cal Society, the Colonial Society of Massachusetts and the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities on this matter were summarized, two spirited and witty defenses of the butcher stalls-one in verse and the other in prose-have appeared in the Boston press. The Boston Globe published on 1 February one of Francis W. Hatch's lively bal­ lads1 entitled "In the N arne of Peter Faneuil-Beef Before Baubles." This spirited reminiscence of the delights of buying bacon, broiler, tripe and cheese in Faneuil Hall, which concluded Let tourists come, Let tourists go And carry home belief That Boston Patriots are backed By honest Yankee beef! was a few days later reprinted in the form of a handbill that has circulated widely through the city.

  • Acorn Street on Beacon Hill – One of the Last True Cobblestoned Streets
    Acorn Street on Beacon Hill – one of the last true cobblestoned streets Boston’s Famous Cobblestones Boston is noted for its cobblestone streets, but, truth be told, most of them are not made of cobblestones. How could this happen? Well, a “cob” in Old English was a rounded mass or lump. Boston’s soil was loaded with these “cobs”, so it was natural we would do whatever we had to do to get rid of as many as possible – from building stone walls to ballast in ships to, you guessed it, paving material. To put many together roughly was to “cobble”. This begat “cobblestone” paving. Many of Old Boston’s streets were made with these “cobblestones”, exactly as we took them out of the ground. This led to many uneven surfaces, broken wheels, and, of course, massive complaints. The problems with the irregular features of the cobblestones led to the creation in the 19th century of “setts”, which were granite stones cut into more or less regularly-shaped rectangles and made the street paving surface much more even. “Setts” became the standard for Boston streets during the 1800’s. However, guidebooks have continued to call these new-fangled paving blocks “cobblestones” as well, but now you know that this is not correct. The only place that TRUE cobblestones are still around in any significant quantity is up in Beacon Hill. Their most famous location is on Acorn Street, which is one of the most photographed parts in the city. But you’ll also see them in some of the worn-down exposed areas of Louisburg Square and close by on a few driveways along Mount Vernon Street.

Socialism was on the rise in Massachusetts in 1902. For the Democratic Party, the Socialist vote, along with that of other splinter parties, such as the Prohibition and Labor Parties, frequently meant certain defeat by the Republicans. That November, the third party vote meant the difference between victory and defeat in many elections, including the governorship, lieutenant governorship and at least seven state senate seats. Socialist James Carey was elected to the Massachusetts House of Representatives from Haverhill.
