Starting in the upper left corner is Strait Bargate which looks like a pedestrian shopping mall. Continuing clockwise is The Marina, The Market Place and St. Botolph's Church
1. Boston, MA has Old North Church. You know, "the one if by land and two if by sea" church. That's a statue of Paul Revere in the foreground.
2. Boston, MA has a harbor, too. Here, The USS Constitution fires a 21 gun salute as she makes her annual harbor turnaround cruise on July 4. "Old Ironsides" is the world's oldest commissioned warship.3. Haymarket Square is home to an open air produce market Friday afternoon and Saturday, year round
4. The produce market is located behind Fanueil (rhymes with Flannel) Hall/Quincy Market Place, an pedestrian shopping mall with upscale stores, and street performers.
5. Both cities are spelled the same.
Is your city or town named after a city or town in "the old country"?
When my son met his former girlfriend a few years ago in Australia, it was kind of a conversation opener.... where are you from? a small place in Canada, Langley. Where are you from? a small place in Somerset, England - Langley.....!
