   Boston has alot of interesting architecture that you
   can see when you walk the FREEDOM TRAIL there.

   I was EXPOSED to alot of Boston's architecture via
   a job I had in college.  I drove a food delivery truck
   for STAR MARKET.  We not only saw the outsides of alot
   of amzing places, we saw the insides, too.

   There were alot of excellent old mansions around
   Dartmouth Street and up and down Commonwealth Avenue
   and in Beacon Hill.  You would not believe the
   Penthouse views.  And some of these places did not
   have elevators.  And some that did had ancient
   DC-powered ones that had WARNING notices on the
   outside that said they might STOP a odd times.

   There's architecture by H.H. Richardson
   like the Copley Square Church.  And works
   done by I.M. Pei.   Matter of fact,
   I.M. Pei and his associates have designed several
   major buildings around Boston.  They've designed
   the Hancock Building in Copley Square, and the
   West Wing of the Museum of Fine Arts.  But the
   one that I like the best is the Kennedy Library
   in Dorchester.  It really looks impressive facing
   out to sea.

   If you need a good mapbook of Boston,
   here's an popular one:
   UNIVERSAL ATLAS OF METROPOLITAN BOSTON & EASTERN MASS
   165 Maps, including house buying information.
   (Universal Pubs; Stoughton, MA; 1991)
   I got mine at WORDSWORTH of Harvard Square
   30 Brattle Street, Cambridge.

   And TWO books to help you find & enjoy BOSTON's architecture:

				   CHINA
		      -------------------------------------

   Here's a recipe for one of China's favorite delicacies:

   SHARKS' FIN SOUP
   ----------------
    12 oz sharks' fin                 6 tbsp bamboo shoots
     1 inch knob of fresh ginger     10 cups hot chicken stock
     1 clove crushed garlic           2 tbsp Shao Shing or
  COLD water                                 sherry soya sauce
     1 leg of a chicken               1 tsp sesame oil
   1/2 cup raw breast of chicken      VINEGAR
   1/4 cup Chinese ham                SALT

   SOAK the sharks' fins in water for 24 hours.
   BOIL them slowly for 4 hours with ginger & garlic
   in double the amount of water required to cover them.
   DRAIN and remove any flesh on the fins.
   Put it in a basin, place the chicken leg on top,
   and steam slowly for 2 hours.
   REMOVE the chicken leg and any water which may have
   dropped on the fins.
   SHRED chicken breast, ham, and bamboo shoots into fine strips.
   Put sharks' fins into saucepan, pour in enough stock to
   cover and boil for 5 minutes.  ADD chicken, ham, bamboo shoots
   and wine, and simmer for another 5 minutes.
   ADD a few drops of soya sauce, sesame oil, vinegar & salt
   to taste and serve.

    And another great place to go is KENNEBUNKPORT, MAINE.

    There's a Lithuanian Franciscan Monastery up there
    that runs a MOTEL within walking distance of downtown.
    PERFECT location.  It's secluded & quiet, too.
    Great place to unwind.  They have a special breakfast
    where they serve Lithuanian breads & such.
    And they have a salt-water swimming pool.
    IF you ASK, you can get a sticker for your car that
    will let you park at & use the local BEACHES!
    And there's plenty of stores in Kennebunkport.
    I picked up a copy of a great PIANO INSTRUMENTAL CD
    up there.  It's:

    TWO HEARTS
    by Peter Kater
    (PDK; 1986; PDK CD-4001)

    And Portland, Maine is a short distance away.
    Just NORTH up the coast.  There are many artists
    galleries and gift shops there, too.   And you can
    catch a boat to HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA from Portland
    And learn about the OAK ISLAND MYSTERY.  A place
    where either the FRENCH but more likely the ENGLISH
    buried some gold after the Revolutionary War.

    And if you keep heading NORTH up the coast of MAINE
    you'll soon come to Freeport, Maine.
    That's where L.L. Bean is.
    My youngest brother & his wife gave me a
    sweater made in Norway from there.

     And don't forget a pack of BICYCLE PLAYING CARDS
     from the U.S.Playing Card Company

		      -------------------------------------
                            MOTORCYCLES ARE EVERYWHERE
		      -------------------------------------

    I let a motorcyclist zip in front of me once when I drove
    a delivery truck during college.  We only traveled a little
    bit further up to a U-turn on Huntington Ave in Boston
    when a car (that saw me) booted it, but didn't see the
    motorcyclist in front of me.  Luckily the guy on the
    motorcycle saw it coming and did some gymnastics to
    vault off his bike as it crashed into a car.  He body slammed
    a building but at least not his head.  And a cop had to
    bag the car because the driver was about to peel off
    due to panic.

    Happens to bicycle riders to.  They're riding along and someone
    throws open a car door and WHAM!

    This means we need a way to separate the BIKES from the CARS.
    In the 1st case of motorcyclists, the bikers need to wear COLORED
    LEATHERS to separate themselves visually from the
    visual background noise.

    As for the 2nd case of bicycles, we'd have to talk to
    an EXPERT in Urban Studies/Planning and put Bicycle paths
    through the city where possible.

    There are other areas where there are similar URBAN PLANNING
    problems in BOSTON.  Ever ride the GREENLINE TROLLEY past
    Boston University?  The trolleys go so slow because they have
    to watch out for cars and pedestrians.  This is a WICKED POOR
    design.  An inexpensive solution would be to DIG a special trench,
    put the trolley tracks into this, have public access paths going down
    to below ground trolley stops.  This would allow the trolleys
    to go FASTER, would SHELTER them from the SNOW, and minimize
    accidents with pedestrians.  It would also allow the center
    of Commonwealth Avenue to turn into the French Boulevard with
    the GREEN SWATH up the middle.  The other problem there, pedestrians
    and cars would still exist.  The cars zip along at 40 miles/hour
    and pedestrians basically step right into their path in a sceond.
    NO time to stop.  Very hard to see pedestrians there on dark
    and rainy nights.  The PERFECT solution would be to put the CARS
    undergorund there too (briefly).  Say from Kenmore Square on
    up to the Boston University Bridge.  This is the HIGH PEDESTRIAN
    COUNT area.  The beauty of this is that it would also give
    BOSTON UNIVERSITY a quiet GREEN campus.  And if we cap off
    Storrow drive (the Boston University portion) their GREEN campus
    would extend to the Charles River and be enjoyed by the public, too.

    This same idea could be applied at Northeastern University
    on Huntington Avenue, Boston, where they have a similar
    urban design problem.    The GREEN BELT there could run
    from SYMPHONY HALL and the HUNTINGTON AVENUE PLAYHOUSE,
    past the YMCA, past WENTWORTH INSTITUTE,
    on up to the MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS.

    Someone who would know what to recommend on all this would be
    PHILLIP L. CLAY whose just been promoted to HEAD of the
    M.I.T. Department of URBAN STUDIES & PLANNING (July 1st).
    There's an article on him on page 3 of the April 29, 1992
    M.I.T. TECH TALK campus newspaper.  You can pick this up for
    FREE at the Main entrance Hall to M.I.T. on Mass Ave in
    Cambridge.  They also give FREE tours of the campus starting
    at this same location.

    A very good writer on Urban Design is LEWIS MUMFORD.
    A good book:

    FROM THE GROUND UP

    Highway Building, and Civic Design.

    The Nation's 500th bike path is nearing completion.

    It's the MINUTEMAN BIKEPATH.

    It runs from Cambridge, to Arlington, Lexington, and Bedford, Mass.
    Scheduled for completion in October 3, 1992.
    When completed it will be 11 miles long.

    And on CAPE COD there is a bike path called:
    THE CAPE COD RAIL TRAIL

    It goes from Dennis out to Eastham.
    You can see the ocean from several points along that
    bike route.

    And there are bike paths in Lincoln, Mass that you can ride
    on to get part of the way to WALDEN POND in Concord, Mass.

    If you'd like to read about what Walden Pond was like in the
    past, you'll find, in reading the book below, that
    THOREAU lived a short walking distance from Railroad Tracks.

    WALDEN POND
    by Henry David Thoreau
    (Courage Classics; New York; 1990)

    NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC
    -------------------
    IN THE TRACKS OF THOREAU - page 349 March 1981
------------------------------------------------------------------
    NOTE:  If you're looking for old bottles at the bottom
	   of WALDEN POND, don't forget to watch out for
	   the LARGE Snapping Turtles in there.

	   You'll run across them if you go out to far
	   or down to deep.

	   If you put a mask on you'll see them.

	   And, yes, the snapping turtle is Massachusetts'
	   most dangerous critter, but if you're
	   careful, they won't BITE your finger off.

				DID YOU KNOW THAT?
		      -------------------------------------

    Did you know that UNCLE SAM was born in Arlington, MA?
    His name was originally Samuel Wilson.
    There's a statue dedicated to him near the center there.

    He went from there to MASON, New Hampshire and then
    to Troy, New York.  In Troy, New York during the
    WAR of 1812, he worked as an inspector where
    he shipped meat stamped U.S. to the army.

    The Uncle Sam poster that says: "I WANT YOU"
    dates from (1917).

    The statue is located just down the street from a
    bagel shop named BAGELS BY US.  I think the US is
    a bagel business in New York, you'll have to check their sign.
    I think they wanted to say Uncle Sam but a legal business
    person probably had them change the name to avoid confusion.
    And NO there bagels are not stamped U.S.

    This is the Largest BLACK Fundraising organization in the Nation,
    formed in 1944 to assist historically black colleges & universities
    to raise funds from the public.

    LITTLE KNOWN FACTS:
    President George Bush served as a UNCF volunteer in 1948.

    I was originally going to donate the money to a
    BLACK AFRICAN AMERICAN COLLEGE FUND at Harvard or University
    of Massachusetts or Boston University or Northeastern University
    but it makes more sense to have it accessible by ALL Black African
    Americans.   I'm sure that if their CUP runeth over they will
    contribute to other BLACK AFRICAN AMERICAN charities.

    If you don't want to contribute there (I can't change you)
    then you might want to contribute to the UNITED WAY which
    contributes to alot of TRUE charities (the United Way was
    at one time known as THE COMMUNITY CHEST, like in the
    game Monopoly).    If not the United Way, then here's a
    good book of TRUE charities that you might be interested in donating to:
