In 1930, the City Planning Board published this map showing the changes in Boston’s shore line. Take a look! Does anything surprise you?

I watched the HBO drama “John Adams”.

Hopping back online to say I'll be in Boston for a few days at the end of September! I'm super excited, this is exactly the thing I need to be looking forward to ❤️❤️❤️

I'll be getting in late at night on September 27th and probably leaving on October 1st! Other than the evening of the 29th I have nothing scheduled, (although some time will have to be allocated for the JFK library/EMK institute because it's been ages since I visited). Obviously this is far enough away that no plans need to be made any time soon, but I know @parkersrevenge and @breakfastautocrat expressed interest in meeting up, and there are some other friends I have on here in the Boston area that I've hung out with in the past and I'd definitely be down to do that again 😁
