tippet7 Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Did you do the walking tour? when I did the tour back in 2000, I went to Little Italy and had the BEST lunch ever and then walked over to a little bakery and got some fresh out of the oven cannoli. so good, my tongue slapped my face silly You are so stupid you threw a rock at the ground and missed.
Terry Beeson Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Never been to Boston, but been to western Mass... Did ya pahk ya cah in da yahd, Phil? Yeah, be sure to get some good Italian while there. A former coworker from Boston and many who have eaten there have bragged on it for sure...

Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted April 15, 2008 Author Root Admin Posted April 15, 2008 We walked thru the Italian shops and neighborhood- reminded me of St Louis but alot smaller streets. Yes and did have some canoli before we left the neighborhood. We're in South Hamilton and headed to the college this am. VView out our motel room. We're in Gloucester.

Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted April 16, 2008 Author Root Admin Posted April 16, 2008 It's incredible how big the Red Sox are around here... they live and breathe it. Drove over to Rockport yesterday. Nice seaside place. Disney is shooting a movie with Sandra Bullock. The have renamed the town "Sitka, AK", replacing signs on the streets and shops reflecting AK. They've even added small branches with green leaves to the bottom edge of trees on the main street to make it look like summer. Trucks with equipment everywhere. They were shooting a boat scene in the harbor with 2 very expensive looking boats with cameras and booms plus cameras on the banks with Bullock and a guy racing from behind a bluff out to sea. The locals are funny... they are amused, critical and happy they're there. It all depends on who's getting extra business out of the deal it seems. We ate at a hole-in-the-wall seafood place on the edge of the harbor. Picked out what we wanted, he'd cook it and we ate till we were full. Fresh lobster, crab cakes, stuff claims, shrimp and clam chowder (best we've had so far) and it only costs the 3 of us $40.00. Roy Moore's - if you ever go. He owns the Fish House too, a little more formal place close to the harbor. Drove highway 1A along the sea till dark, got lost and then finally stopped for directions. Headed back tomorrow.
Quillback Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 I used to work in downtown Boston, went to school at Northeastern. It's a great city to visit. The bass fishing was excellent there 30 years ago.
