Boston? Why?
I am going to Boston. I don’t really have a reason why, except that I have never been there before.
Boston has the Celtics, but there won’t be any basketball while I am there. They have the Red Sox. I guess I can try to catch one of those games…
What about history? I heard they have a lot of that, but only the Boston Tea Party and Paul Revere’s ride come to mind. I hope I pick up some more historical tidbits. Maybe I can see the Liberty Bell. (Please do not e-mail to correct me on this, I KNOW the Liberty Bell is at Gettysburg.)
Boston does have that “Cheers” bar. It there any reason to go there? I probably can’t afford a beer at that joint anyway.
The bay is probably nice. Is Nantucket close? Is that a real place, or does it only exist in bawdy rhymes?
Boston Cream Pie? Boston baked beans? Clam chowder? Crab? Samuel Adams Beer (no wait, I can get that beer HERE).
Maybe I can visit with some Kennedy-people or James Taylor. Doesn’t he live there somewhere?
Maybe he lives in Martha’s Vineyard. Are normal people allowed to go there?
Hey Bostonians, what should I do on my whirlwind tour of your lovely metropolis? Do you have any suggestions? Make it snappy, the car is warming up…

The question is – why wouldn’t you want to come to Boston?!
You mentioned Sam Adams – well if you like beer and Boston, why not hit up the American Craft Beer Festival? You can check out a ton of brews that I bet you CAN’T get back home.
Here is a list of all the New England Brewers who are attending – http://tiny.cc/lqNbP
