I am an ironworker, and I worked on the Charles Street jail retrofit, and the hotel behind it. Proud of that job. It was a challenge.

Ypu are too cool to have worked on that. I remember seeing prisoners from the windows of mass general hosp. It was closed because of an important case regarding humanity. One prisoner killed another with a toilet seat and it became a landmark case. Im glad its a nice hotel now.

Boston rocks ! We moved here in 2015 and have not looked back. Old South Church is a not to miss shrine, and we attend services there on a regular basis, after being away from church for over 30 years.

Just 35 miles south on Route 3 is Plymouth . The hometown of America . How can anyone get to Boston and not travel those few miles to see The Mayflower, Plymouth Rock , Plimoth Plantation and then take a boat Whale Watching ? And then another boat across to Provincetown on Cape Cod and then the Ferry from Woods Hole to Martha's Vineyard . Please don't go to Boston and then miss out on many other beautiful places that are so nearby .

The Freedom Trail is fun a bit long but fun. You really don't need a map. The city of Boston made it quite simple. the trail is embedded in the sidewalk. you follow a brick line and it leads the way. 2.5 miles might not sound like that far but trust me its far. Even trying to skip entering a few places it still took me 4hrs to walk it.

@BosoxnationI972 umm- hey!! I've enjoyed your other comments, but want to say this: Charles Street jail was a jail where people awaited sentencing, and served for sentences less than 1 or 2 years. It was nutoriously known for its extreme overcrowding, 6-8 in a cell intended for one, with a single bare light bulb. What I've just described is true of the jail in the 1970's. The ROOM in which the host sat was the drunk + tank. Enjoy your day. Go Sox! ❣️

I never associate "Yanks" with the upper strata of New England society so it shows that word associations can change from person to person. I first think of George M. Cohan and the song "Over There". Over there, over there Send the word, send the word over there That the Yanks are coming, the Yanks are coming The drums rum-tumming everywhere. So prepare, say a prayer, Send the word, send the word to beware We'll be over, we're coming over ,And we won't come back till it's over, over there
