XV Beacon Street Hotel

Saturday, September 29, 2007


Small boutique hotel on Beacon Street. I think a small hotel calling itself a "boutique hotel" is just another way of saying "we're really expensive and have small rooms."

Paving the streets

Thursday, September 20, 2007

I went out walking at lunchtime today and saw workers paving Franklin Street. I always thought this was done at night so as not to inconvenience traffic, to say nothing of pedestrians.

City streets are loud and congested enough without these giant beasts chewing up and spitting out gravel during the day. I know it has to be done, but maybe night time would be better.

Massachusetts Fallen Firefighters Memorial

Thursday, September 13, 2007

A memorial to all the fallen Massachusetts Firefighters was dedicated at the State House on Tuesday, the anniversary of 9/11. The statue is 11 feet high and weighs 3,000 pounds. It took nine months to design but more than nine years to raise the money and backing to erect it. All around the statue are listed the names of fallen firefighters and the cities and towns they gave their lives for.

Street Medallion

Wednesday, September 5, 2007


I noticed this on the sidewalk and walked past it. I stopped and did a double-take, literally. I realized if I didn't go back and take a picture I would regret it and never be able to find it again. Street medallions generally go unnoticed by most of us, but some can be quite artistic and even colorful.

I did a search on the name and all I could find were links to Fenway Park. It appears that this was a construction company and was involved in a 1934 renovation at Fenway Park. I'm sure if I went to the library and did some old fashioned research I might be able to find more information. Does anyone recognize the name?
