On loving Boston

Lorianne recounts a Saturday night in the Back Bay that included strolling around, paying homage at 298 Beacon and a concert by an Indian musician at Symphony Hall:

“We are Boston,” those gold and blue banners proclaimed, and on Sunday night, it felt like loving Boston was one and the same as loving the whole wide world.

Boston is often most impressive

...when it gives up trying, (to reshape a Joni Mitchell lyric).

When the mawkish boosterism switch is clicked off, a charming chunk of the old world grafted onto the new is there to be appreciated readily.

Nice blog post. I hoisted it for my Urban Travel crew.

Thanks for the backhanded compliment, Chris Rich.

Boston's alright if you're

Boston's alright if you're the kind of person who lives in Newton and comes into the city to go to the Symphony.

Not any Indian musician

(Ustad) Zakir Hussain is a Master of the tabla, much like calling Joshua Bell a fiddle player. The blog post notes slow traffic and late arrivals, even on a Sunday. Its a good show to bring kids to, much like Peter and the Wolf, giving them a greater appreciation of music while also wowing the adults too.
