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.
