Book Description

November 1994 Urban Tapestry Series
"For Boston has finally shed its antiquarian image, and without loss of its special grace, has emerged as a city pulsing with new energies, eager to compete with others in the global marketplace. Indeed, Boston has arrived at this stage in its history, albeit somewhat reluctantly, and has deftly managed to avoid the glitz and gloss to remain a livable city with a heart."

So says author and former WLVI-TV anchorman Jack Hynes as he leads us on a walking tour through the "Grand Dame of American Cities"-Boston, Massachusetts. Aided by over 275 images by the area's most talented photographers, Hynes, a lifelong Bostonian, shares his insights into the unique character of this historic city, as well as the promising outlook for its future.

The unmistakable Boston character has been ascribed to the Puritan influence, the New England work ethic, and the waves of immigrants that have added to its strength through cultural diversity and rich tradition. From the North End, with its Little Italy charm, to Fenway Park, and from the swan boats at the Public Garden to the financial district, Hynes introduces us to all the sights and sounds that make the city such a magical place.
