Pat, you are the best. This wealth of information about Boston is unbelieveable. I've visited the city a few times several years ago and know about some of the attractions. But Craig(Chap7) and I have a family wedding to attend there in August and this material will come in very handy. Thank you so much for putting it all together.

[Beaglemom3 Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Beaglemom3]

Great work, Pat !!

When visiting Boston, please let me know ahead of time and I will do my best to take you around. I grew up here and used to be a Freedom Trail Guide in high school. I was such a nerd.

I have most of this info in my pointed little head.

B.

Thanks!

If either of you have additional links or thoughts of areas/things/sights/attractions to add, let me know.

[falmouth3 Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close falmouth3]

You have just about everything but I didn't see Bostix for discount theater and show tickets. ArtsBoston. Most shows listed are discounted for future days.

For 1/2 price day of show tickets, click on the picture of the Bostix kiosk in the upper right corner of the Artsboston site and you'll see what shows are currently available. Cash only. They sell the best seats available first and you can't select your seats. Still, if they are showing something you want to see, it's a bargain!

Grocery Stores

Coffee Shops
Bars
Movie Theatres
Schools
Parks

Bookstores
Fitness
Drug Stores

Paul, I was in Newburyport last week for the music festival. We really enjoyed it. It's a beautiful town.

Sue

[biskits Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close biskits]

Hi Sue
Glad you enjoyed your visit to Newburyport and the music festival....
I usually do not leave New England for vacation May thru October
but was fortuate enough to win a trip with my employer to Cour d Alene,
Idaho same weekend as the music festival, and thus missed it. If you enjoyed your visit last week, our annual Yankee Homecoming starts
this coming Saturday, 7/26, and there's tons of things going on all week including free concerts at the waterfront park.
Newburyport Yankee Homecoming Master Calendar
PM me next time you are visiting!!!!
Best wishes,
Paul

Hi Paul,
Lots of fun things going on in your town. I think this coming weekend we'' be in Lowell for their folk festival, which is a city-wide music festival, with all types of bands, spanning many cultures. Dancing in the streets, lots of food vendors. Another good place to celebrate the summer.

Maybe we'll make it to Newburyport for the following weekend.

Sue
