Boston's Beacon Hill
We love walking around Boston's Beacon Hill in the early evening, as it begins to get dark and the gas lamps illuminate the stately brick town houses. Chestnut and Mt. Vernon are particularly lovely streets. While we stroll along, we remember that this area was named for the light that was placed at the top of the hill in the 17th century. The hill's height was reduced a century later when earth was moved from the hilltop to fill in the Back Bay.
