Ride Boston's New Connect Historic Boston Bike Trail
Protected bike lanes are becoming less rare in many U.S. cities and I got to ride a fine new one in the City of Boston. Called the Connect Historic Boston Bike Trail, it is the beginning segment - about two miles so far - of a longer loop that plans to circle the downtown area.
The idea was to connect historic Boston places via a safe bike route that not only commuters could use to get about, but also visitors or residents wanting to further explore the city.
The segment features a lot of good design practices. Where it intersects with driveways or parking lots the drivers are slowed by having to meet the bike lane which has been raised to the level of the sidewalk. It also features ample #freshkermit (that's green paint) in areas to highlight possible conflict areas between motorists and cyclists. Additionally, some intersections have been built with some protection. And some environmentally friendly bits as well: permeable pavement and a bioswale.
There's one section here tha'ts center running - which, yes, always has its critics - but in this case it makes much more sense to put riders away from crowded sidewalks at North Station/TD Garden. I'd much rather ride in the freedom of the center versus contending with pedestrians and cars. Just imagine this scenario averted.
Big thanks to the good transportation folks from the City of Boston who came out to meet me after work with little notice to take a one hour excursion with Streetfilms!

Boston History Part 1
I made this as a cute little video for a friend, but here I give it to you, the public. It is my version of the beginning of the Freedom Trail in Boston. It is a little bit like an amateur drunk history, but I'm not drunk. And it's not expertly done with famous actors backing me.
BOSTON, EXPLORING America's oldest city park, Boston Common (Massachusetts, USA) ????️
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's go for a walk along Boston Commons, a central public park located downtown in the historic city of Boston, Massachusetts. It dates from 1634 and it is the oldest city park in the United States. The Boston Commons consists of 50 acres (20 ha) and I videotaped it on a rainy wintry day, I will be back on a sunny day to videotape its art displayed everywhere...
Boston is Massachusetts’ capital and largest city. Founded in 1630, it’s one of the oldest cities in the U.S. The key role it played in the American Revolution is highlighted on the Freedom Trail, a 2.5-mile walking route of historic sites that tells the story of the nation’s founding. One stop, former meeting house Faneuil Hall, is a popular marketplace.
The U.S. is a country of 50 states covering a vast swath of North America, with Alaska in the northwest and Hawaii extending the nation’s presence into the Pacific Ocean. Major Atlantic Coast cities are New York, a global finance and culture center, and capital Washington, DC. Midwestern metropolis Chicago is known for influential architecture and on the west coast, Los Angeles' Hollywood is famed for filmmaking.

This History in a Minute discusses one of Boston's many firsts in the nation: building the first subway. It covered just a couple city blocks between Park Street and Tremont Street and dramatically decreased traffic (for a little while, at least).
Boston's Neighborhoods: Beacon Hill
- An historic, even iconic neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, Beacon Hill is a neighborhood of Federal style rowhouses and is widely known for it's narrow streets, gas lights, brick sidewalks and village like atmosphere. With it's ivy covered fences and lovely gardens, it is widely regarded as one of the most desirable and expensive neighborhoods in Boston.
Named for the location of a former beacon atop the highest point in central Boston, the hill and two nearby hills were substantially reduced in height to allow the development of housing in the area. The entire hill was once owned by William Blaxton, the first European settler of Boston; from 1625 to 1635. He eventually sold his land to the Puritans
Located just north of the Boston Common and Public Garden, Beacon Hill is bounded by the Charles River, Beacon Street and Cambridge Street.
A new station of the MBTA Red Line anchors the north end of the neighborhood, and provides easy commuting options to anywhere in the city and beyond - the perfect neighborhood for those without an automobile.
The Gold leaf of the Massachusetts State House Rotunda adorns the hill and shines across the Common. The lively sport of Massachusetts politics is acted out on the grounds of the State House on a regular basis.
Across from the State House, the Boston Common Frog Pond is a joyful jewel in this historic park. As a reflection and wading pool in the warmer months with a nearby cafe and playground, it transforms into beautiful skating rink during the winter.
Beacon Hill is also home to the real live Cheers bar of TV fame as well as numerous shops, restaurants, professional services, antique shops, apparel stores and boutiques, which dot Charles Street. No WalMarts or Dunkin' Donuts here - Charles Street is filled with unique one of a kind shops and restaurants. These businesses take personal pride in their offerings, with a wide array of food, unusual gifts, apparel and antiques from all over the world. Best of all, you'll very likely be greeted by the store owner for that personal touch! Gary Drug is one of the few independent pharmacies left in America! Whether you need a grocery store, shoe store, or hardware store - it's all within walking distance if you live in Beacon Hill.
For its rich heritage, inimitable architecture and its crucial role in the abolitionist movement, the neighborhood was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1962.
Beacon Hill has been home to many past and present notable residents over the years, including statesmen John Hancock and Daniel Webster; writers Louisa May Alcott, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. and Michael Crichton; senators Henry Cabot Lodge, Charles Sumner, Edward Kennedy and John Kerry; poets Sylvia Plath, Robert Frost, Julia Ward Howe, and Anne Sexton; Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.; painters John Singleton Copley and Chester Harding; and actors Edwin Booth and Uma Thurman.
Beacon Hill is home to a wide variety of residential styles. A great place for families, this historic neighborhood offers a blend of classic Boston architecture and expansive green space.
Current housing in Beacon Hill runs the gamut from tiny studio apartments, to grand, single family residences. With the earliest houses dating back to the late 1700s, and new condominiums such as the Tudor, 34.5 Beacon, 50 Beacon and The Amory, and 96 Beacon which offer modern, luxury amenities (some are doorman buildings) along with restored period detail and oftentimes with beautiful views of the Common and the Garden, there is something for everyone in Beacon Hill.
The holidays are an especially beautiful time in Beacon Hill. In fact, it feels like you just went back to a quieter time - before shopping malls, cars, and the hustle and bustle. The annual holiday stroll draws people from all over the area.
Beautiful Acorn Street is often mentioned as one of the most picturesque (and most frequently photographed) street in the United States. Interesting architectural details, brick row houses with colorful doors, creative door knockers, decorative ironwork, brick sidewalks, narrow streets and real gas lamps make Beacon Hill a feast for the eyes.
Once you visit Beacon Hill, you'll see why many find that just living here to be the best attraction of them all!
