Welcome to THE ROAD SCHOLARS' four hour tour of Boston. We didn't even scratch the surface and we know it, but it was okay because we knew we had Dave Matthews to look forward to.
We started off at the mall in Prudential Center (the Prude as it is called) where I got some advice on seeing the sights in Boston. The rest isn't terribly exciting. We managed to see Boston Common, St. Paul's Cathedral, the Hard Rock Cafe (of course), and the famous Bull & Finch Tavern, inspiration for the long-running NBC sitcom Cheers. Actually we had lunch at the Bull & Finch where we scored some Cheers mugs (for only $6 each). It was worth it though, because while we were there guess who showed up!!? Frasier, Diane, and Woody, all of Cheers fame. Good times at the Bull & Finch. By the way, the door in real life opens outward due to fire regulations, not inward like on the show.
A quick side note. I couldn't resist taking a picture of this tomato green Honda parked in a No Parking Zone. Notice the license plate (and the no-parking sign). If you don't understand why this is funny, go rent Fried Green Tomatoes.
