Boston Freedom Trail

by on April 1, 2010

Ah yes, Boston’s historic appeal. People sure love the city for it’s rich history. Check out one of our newest stories about Boston’s famous Freedom Trail:

“My favorite memory of Boston is from when I was about 14 years old. My friend and I were working on a school project involving a timeline of the revolutionary war. Therefore, we decided to trek into the historical city and walk the entire freedom trail. I brought a camera to photograph all the important sites. Back then, the freedom trail was painted onto the sidewalk. Since then, much of it has been bricked in to make it more official. A number of local businesses had conspired to paint lines all over the place so that wandering tourists would be lead passed their stores instead of on the correct route. As a result the freedom trail was more like a maze with lines ending in the middle of the street or traveling needlessly around long blocks. We walked much of the day and even decided to hike over to see the Constitution, which is quite a ways away from the rest of the sites on the trail. In the end, we were quite excited that we would have lots of great pictures to put on our timeline. We even hoped to get a few brownie points for our troubles. At home, I opened up the camera to take the film and get it developed. It seems, however, that I forgot one important detail. I had never put any film in the camera.”
