Boston Public Garden at night by James Sutherland

About three weeks ago James Sutherland snapped and shared this beautiful photo of the Boston Public Garden. Since then the Public Garden has transformed as the trees have flowered and the buds have been replaced with leaves, but I loved this photo with Boston’s Back Bay off in the distance, seemingly enveloped in fog.

Lawn on D is now open

Boston public park, Southie Park

Lawn on D opened Monday, May 1, 2017 

One of Boston’s coolest parks, Lawn on D, opened this Monday, May 1, 2017 and as with each year it seems like the park offers something new to attract people to this patch of green surrounded by concrete.

Probably the biggest change (for the better) is that the Lawn on D now has a liquor license through their full-service bar, starting today, Thursday, May 4th. No surprise that the addition of alcohol has also led to an upgrade and changes with food options so check it out this weekend.

Large Chess Set at Hotel Brava in Buzios, Brazil

Bucket list of things to do in Boston

christian science plazaFriend and regular reader, Dan K., forward me an article from 2016 entitled, The Boston Bucket List: 33 Things to do before you die, which I had fun reading. Although I think the list should say, 29 Things to do before you die since #4, #25 #26 and #29 do not take place in Boston.

I thought the list was really well done and of the 33 items, I can say that I’ve done 20 of them.  Two of the suggestions, #15: Run the Boston Marathon and #28: Row The Head of the Charles Regatta ain’t ever going to happen, but I think I  should get partial credit for attending and cheering on runners / rowers.

How many of the 33 Things can you say you’ve done and more interestingly, what was left off their list that you would add? I came up with the following:

Attend the annual 4th of July celebration at the Hatch Shell
Attend Shakespeare on the Common
Go to the top of the Boston Custom House Tower
Go to the Beanpot Hockey tournament
Bike / run / walk the Emerald Necklace

Mayor Marty Walsh video: City Hall sanctuary
