Our blog system was down this morning so I am just now able to update it. Unfortunately, I’ve forgotten everything I was going to write about this morning. Seeing as it’s been a rather uneventful day, I guess there wasn’t much to share.<\/P>
\n

Oh, but our friend, Chris, is coming up for a visit tomorrow and staying through Monday. Being a big geek, I want to show him the best of  Boston. I”m so fiercely loyal to this city Matt often jokes that I should work for the Convention and Visitors Bureau.<\/P>
\n

Anyway, Chris is interested in seeing the gritty\/bohemian side of Boston. HMMM – I’m stumped! LOL So far, I’ve planned the MFA for an art deco exhibit, dinner and a walk through the North End, Harvard Square, Back Bay\/Newbury Street\/Copley, South End. <\/P>
\n

For nature, I hope to show him Mt. Auburn Cemetery, Esplanade, Boston Common, Public Garden. <\/P>
\n

For culture, I’m thinking Ramrod, Manray and the Alley. For gritty\/bohemian…i’m really stumped. Where would that be in Boston anymore? It’s all been so gentrified and cleaned up. So far, I’m thinking the western part of Newbury Street (Allston Beat, Newbury Comix, Otherside Cafe)…but Kenmore Square has cleaned up. Davis Square? That’s cleaned up, too…but still may be funky enough. And Harvard Square still has some independent charm…especially since the Aberzombie store failed here (which makes me so happy).<\/P>
\n

So…any suggestions? What’s uniquely Boston?<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
