2. BOSTON_190809_040.JPG: Liberty Tree Plaza
3. BOSTON_190809_046.JPG: Liberty Tree Plaza Liberty Tree Plaza commemorates the public space where ordinary people gathered to bring about extraordinary change. Across Washington Street stood the stately elm that was know between 1765 and 1775 as "Liberty Tree." It served as a rallying point for colonists protesting the British imposed Stamp Act in 1765 and became an important symbol of their cause. These "Sons of Liberty" began the struggle that led to the Revolutionary War and American Independence.
4. BOSTON_190809_052.JPG: Patrolman John J. Earle killed in the line of duty October 21, 1916 John J. Earle Patrolman John Earle succumbed to injuries sustained the previous day when he was crushed between two trolley cars the intersection of Boylston Street and Washington Street. The inbound trolley failed to make the switch properly and struck the outbound trolley, causing the crash. Patrolman Earle had served with the Boston Police Department for four years.

8. BOSTON_190809_135.JPG: Statue of Robert Burns (Boston) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A statue of poet Robert Burns by Henry Hudson Kitson is installed along The Fens in Boston's Fenway–Kenmore neighborhood, in the U.S. state of Massachusetts.
9. BOSTON_190810_008.JPG: Magoun Counting-House Site Thatcher Magoun, a ship designer, builder and merchant, founded Thatcher Magoun & Son, a counting-house which operated on this site in the 19th century. Magoun's fleet of sailing ships carried the house flag into ports around the world. The Magoun counting-house was one of many similar establishments of the time and reflects the 19th century predominance of Boston as a port, and the role of State Street in the financial history of Boston. An essential part of the business community since the colonial era, State Street remains a center of investment and commerce.
10. BOSTON_190810_035.JPG: James Michael Curley
11. BOSTON_190810_038.JPG: Carmen Park is named in recognition of William Carmen's service to the community and his vision and leadership in creating the New England Holocaust Memorial.
12. BOSTON_190810_048.JPG: Proclamation of the "Bells" Journey Oldest Tavern in the United States 1795 "Old Jimmy" Wilson, Boston's last town crier, first hoisted the sign of the "Bell" in 1795 under the Exchange Coffee House in Congress Square. The tavern gained a popular reputation for selling "the best Ale in Boston," and flourished under a succession of keepers. When it's stock in trade was relocated to Pi Alley in 1853, the ale house thrived amidst the bustle of "Newspaper Row," and soon became a social hub for newspaper men, bankers, Harvard professors, artists and writers. After another move to Devonshire Street, the Bell-In-Hand, under the proprietorship of Morris Levi, continues its centuries old tradition here on the corner of historic Union and Hanover Streets. This landmark building seems an appropriate location for "Old Jimmy" Wilson's sign to hang. Today the Bell-In-Hand is managed by Eddie and Bryna Kaplan.
13. BOSTON_190810_083.JPG: Second Church Site The Second Church, called the 'Old North Meeting House,' was established in 1650 by the Puritans when the First Church in the center of Boston could no longer accommodate the colony's growing population. It was known as the 'Church of the Mathers' because both Increase and Cotton Mather preached there. The first building burned in 1673; the church was rebuilt the following year and was one of North Square's most important landmarks until the British used it for firewood in the winter of 1775-76. After the Revolution, the congregation joined the nearby 'New Brick Church' on Hanover Street.
14. BOSTON_190810_133.JPG: Here lived and died George Francis Parkman 1823-1908 Remembered with enduring gratitude by the City of Boston for his bequest of a $5 million fund that secures for-ever the maintenance and improvement of the Boston Common and other public parks

Wikipedia Description: Boston, Massachusetts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Boston is the capital and largest city of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The city is located in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, in the northeastern United States. The largest city in New England, Boston is considered the economic and cultural center of the entire region. The city, which had an estimated population of 599,351 in 2007, lies at the center of the Cambridge–Boston-Quincy metropolitan area—the 10th-largest metropolitan area (5th largest CSA) in the U.S., with a population of 4.5 million.

In 1630, Puritan colonists from England founded the city on the Shawmut Peninsula. During the late eighteenth century Boston was the location of several major events during the American Revolution, including the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party. Several early battles of the American Revolution, such as the Battle of Bunker Hill and the Siege of Boston, occurred within the city and surrounding areas. After American independence was attained Boston became a major shipping port and manufacturing center, and its rich history now attracts 16.3 million visitors annually. The city was the site of several firsts, including America's first public school, Boston Latin School (1635), and first college, Harvard College (1636), in neighboring Cambridge. Boston was also home to the first subway system in the United States.

Through land reclamation and municipal annexation, Boston has expanded beyond the peninsula. With many colleges and universities within the city and surrounding area, Boston is a center of higher education and a center for medicine. The city's economy is also based on research, finance, and technology – principally biotechnology. Boston has been experiencing gentrification and has one of the highest costs of living in the United States, though remains high on world livability rankings.
