“A favorite hangout of local patriots destroyed by a regiment of British troops in the spring of 1775. 

Officially not on the Freedom Trail, it was still one of Paul Revere’s favorite stops for ‘Que on his way to Lexington and his cry can still be heard in Inman Square, “The British are coming – hide the burnt ends!”

Saw a gastroenterologist in Kenmore Square.  Such a waste of time.  I know it’s good to keep any eye on my insides, and I may need him someday for something but right now, he chats about his vacation, orders blood tests and sends me on my way.  At least he tells fun vacation stories!
