Take a "revolutionary" Tour of Boston

Friday, February 29th, 2008
Andrew Regan asked:


As the capital of Massachusetts and the largest city in New England, Boston has long been regarded as one of the USA’s premier cultural and historical cities. And whether or not you’re a history buff, every tourist that visits Boston is made aware of its colonial history and its involvement in the American Revolutionary War. But why not make this historical aspect the focus of your city break in Boston? By exploring the city’s main revolutionary sights, you’ll definitely be able to get a more authentic feel for America’s legacy of independence.

Start your journey at Boston Harbor, the site of the Boston Tea Party. The Boston Tea Party saw the American colonists destroy many crates of tea bricks on ships owned by the British East India Company in Boston Harbor, on December 16th 1773. The incident is widely held up by historians as a main trigger of the American Revolution; but one of its more immediate effects was in bringing about the Boston Port Act, which shut down the port until the East India Company was compensated for its loss.

Today, Boston Harbor has been transformed from a bustling commercial port to a leading ferry and leisure area of the city. You’ll also be able to visit the Boston Tea Party Museum, located on the Fort Point Channel, which houses a full-scale replica of one of the ships involved in the event. Additionally, Boston Harbor is surrounded by a number of islands, many of which are part of the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area.

Once you’ve visited Boston Harbour, take a trip down the Freedom Trail. Marked by a red brick path that runs through downtown Boston, the Freedom Trail takes visitors to sixteen significant historical sites in the city. These include some of Boston’s best-known monuments to the American Revolutionary War such as the Bunker Hill Monument, which was erected to commemorate the Battle of Bunker Hill, one of the Revolution’s most famous battles.

Paul Revere House is also part of Boston’s Freedom Trail, and is the colonial home of the legendary Paul Revere. Revere is famous for his “midnight ride”, in which he played the role of a messenger in the battles of Lexington and Concord before serving as an officer during the Revolutionary War, and his home is one of Boston’s most visited monuments to the heroes of the American Revolution.

The compact nature of Boston city centre means that you’ll be able to find many places to stay in downtown Boston that are just a stone’s throw away from its main sights. For instance, locate a hotel in Boston that’s in the heart of its historic district and you’ll be able to see all of Boston’s revolutionary heritage monuments in one weekend - so you won’t even have to take a long vacation in order to pay homage to the city that played a crucial role in laying down the foundations of the modern United States.

If you are planning a trip to this historic home of Harvard University, there are many Boston hotels that offer luxurious, medium, and budget accommodations. The Boston hotels that you wish to stay in will obviously be dictated by your budget, and as this is a university city, there are hotels that cater for students, professors, parents, and tourists. Boston is the capital city of Massachusetts and is one of the major cultural centers of New England.

Although there are not a huge amount of Boston hotels, there are more than enough hotels in Boston to cater for the needs of the traveler during any season of the year. This city has a rich history and there are several museums, very good restaurants and many other sights to be seen. Travelers are able to reach the Hub in Boston from Philadelphia, Washington DC, and New York by high speed train and low cost bus lines.

Boston Hotels in Downtown Boston

It makes sense if you are travelling to this city that you would want to stay in a Boston hotel. Amongst the popular downtown Boston hotels you will find the Hyatt Regency, which is situated one block away from the Boston Common, a great tourist attraction; the Seaport Hotel, which is situated close to the World Trade Center on the Boston Harbor; the Comfort Inn, close to Logan Airport and the Nine Zero Hotel at the very center of downtown Boston. This list of Boston hotels does not encompass all of the Hotels in Boston, but they do provide great accommodation that allows easy access to the New England Aquarium, a major attraction of this city, in addition to other entertainment and attractions, such as bars and restaurants.

The city of Boston is considered a melting pot of cultures and lifestyles, an intellectual haven, and a very influential American city. It is also known as one of the richest cities in the US.

Boston Red Sox Baseball Tickets Available

Sunday, February 24th, 2008
Jeff asked:


Based in Boston, Massachusetts — the Red Sox are professional baseball team originally established in New York in 1901 but shortly after they moved to Boston, during that time the was known to be very strong and took on the toughest opponents; in 1903 they went up against the Pittsburgh Pirates and were able to overcome this difficulty team during the first world series the same year.  The team stood strong until 1918 after gathering 4 more titles since 1903 but then something went seriously wrong as a team went into one of the longest championship droughts in baseball history, some attribute the bad luck to the sale of **** Ruth from the Red Sox to the New York Yankees in 1918, **** Ruth was known as the Bambino and the effects of the trade in conjunction with the Bad luck were known as “the curse of The Bambino”.

This curse was taken seriously by many fans and the players who many years later realized that they had completely lost its strength they displayed at the beginning but, it wasn’t until 2004 when the curse was broken and they came back stronger than ever.  The owners of the team are: John Henry, Tom Werner and Larry Lucchino; the manager is Henry Francona and the general manager is Theo Epstein. The team’s ballpark is the Fenway Park.

Important moments and accomplishments

The Red Sox are all about accomplishments in fact, they are the current champions of both the American League Eastern division and the American League itself.  The team holds six division Titles, 12 Pennants and seven World Series Titles; some people argue that the team would have a lot more World Series appearances and participations if it wasn’t for the Bambino’s curse.

Pitchers in the current roster

– Tim Wakefield

– Michael Bowden

– Jon Lester

– Daisuke Matsuzaka

– Paul Byrd
