Correct the tital to "aerial" and everything will be right.

Was this shot by an SR-71?

It's "aerial", you illiterate peasant.

I was thinking the same thing while imagining how the entire city was lit with gas lighting inside and out, rather than electricity.

Quite interesting, but a maddening choice of colors.

Cool pic.

From what I remember the site of the Boston tea party has been lost to history due to the changing shoreline.

"I'm Shipping Up To Boston"

I'm a sailor peg
And I've lost my leg
Climbing up the top sails
I lost my leg!

I'm shipping up to Boston whoa
I'm shipping up to Boston whoa
I'm shipping up to Boston whoa
I'm shipping off...to find my wooden leg

Worst city in the US for delivery.

Ran an illegally parked too near a corner BMW over one
early (4AM) morning with the rear of a short trailer after
leaving the Federal Reserve.

One of the highlights of my time as an
exclusive cargo driver.

Yup some very narrow streets.

Also that rule of thumb, if you want to get out of downtown, you have to go the wrong way on a one way street. otherwise you will be going in circles for hours.

They dealt with it largely in the same way as they do today: shit all over the streets and just walk through it.

Fuck Boston.

I see that shit all the time, I feel for you guys.
Just the other day, there was a guy who just stopped and put his flashers on so he could run into South Station and get McDonalds.
A semi came around and couldn't make the corner coming off Atlantic Ave. Of course that fucked up all traffic from moving anywhere through that intersection for
about 15 minutes. Guy comes running out to face the evil stink eye from 3 cops and a pissed off truck driver.
Should've just thrown the dude in the Harbor.

Top left corner appears to be Quincy Market and Fanuel Hall should be at opposite end where the water isn't.

Google maps that and see how much the bay/harbor has been filled.

Logan Airport was much smaller in 1630, and I think only one runway back then.

Learned that trick after a few days when I was doing some work for the Big Dig.
