Dear friends, I want to tell you about another beautiful city in the USA - Boston. Another "Must-See" city on the east coast. Boston is the capital of Massachusetts and one of the oldest and richest cities in the United States. A little more than 600 thousand people live in the city (ie, the city itself is not very large), but Boston is the center of agglomeration with a population of about 6 million.
It is worth noting that Boston's agglomeration is 12 in the world in terms of GDP. But let's go about everything in order.

Boston was founded in 1630 by the colonists. Literally, in the course of several years in the city, the first English-speaking school and the first college - Harvard were opened in America (a separate post will be about him). Almost century Boston was the largest city of British America, but he gave way to the palm of championship rapidly developing New York.

J. Carwitham (Active 1720-1740), After An Unknown Artist - Yale Center for British Art

In the 1770s, the British authorities tried to increase taxes and strengthen the power over 13 colonies, as a result of which the war began for independence (remember, we talked about the statements by Franklin in Albany). Fannel Hall is 1740 (sometimes called the "Liberty Cradle").

Faneuil Hall Sketch by J. SMYBERT, 1740

In Boston, everything went where to radically - on December 16, 1773, part of the colonists rejected by the Indians and, penetrating the trading English ships, threw out the flow of tea into the protest against the introduction of tax on the tea trafficking, these events were called "Boston Tea Party".

It is logical that the British government responded with repression and local "Titushkami". As a result, the city began discontent, which in a few years turned into an American revolution. In 1775, it was from the "self-defense" of Boston the first military units of the American army under the guidance of George Washington were formed. Some Americans call Boston - the Motherland of the States, giving tribute to his historical role in creating a state independent of England.
After the war, Boston became one of the world's largest trading ports. During the cancellation period, the city becomes the center of this movement. In parallel, the city develops industry, the city becomes the center of the leather and garment industry.

BOSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY.

Thanks to the port, Boston has become one of the main buffers for receiving immigration in the United States. Most of the arrivals of immigrants were: Irish, Germans, Italians, Polish and Russian Jews. It was they who influenced the appearance of the city and his culture, religion (the Catholic community became the largest in the city). By the way, the famous Kennedy family is the descendants of Irish immigrants. At the beginning and mid-20th century, the city is experiencing several crisis stages. The local industry does not have time for modern development and slowly "bend". Working force leaves to other cities.
The authorities of the city have long chose new development paths and as a result were able to attract investments. Interest in the city began to grow again (an important role in this was played by the presence of several "powerful" universities). And by the beginning of the 21st century, Boston again became intellectual, technological, political and business center of the United States and the world.
Well, let's walk along the streets of this pleasant city.

There are many all kinds of churches in the city.

The architecture of the city has mixed styles, due to the set of "indigenous" cultures.

But this kind - already adds a highlight.

Look at the levels of buildings. All Boston in this. Wild mixture of styles! Crazy from her ... Against the background - the highest building of Boston.

We enter the square in the city center.

Icery fountain in the center of the Square - children bathe right in it! Good summer!

From the square opens a wonderful look!

How do you merge epochs? Wash it chic!

I really like this here, your own Boston style. Thanks to the Irish, Italians, the Germans who mixed their styles in this city!

Typical American building of the middle of the 20th century.

It is impossible, of course, without a spoon of tar - the alleys are not the cleanest. Although it is considered those. Side of buildings. On the other hand, it could be somewhat dirtier!

Slowly we got to the Central Park. This is an incredibly beautiful place. It can not be compared with the Central Park of New York. He is another! No less beautiful.

Children are played with pigeons and ducks. Notice the birds are absolutely not afraid of people.

A person calmly relaxes on the shore of the reservoir! Please note what purity.

Beautiful "bows" park.

Excellent trimmed lawn. In the US, you can relax without problems on most lawns. Unfortunately, we do not grab this culture. It is interesting to watch the clerks and managers who go to the park with "brakes" at the lunch break and licking the lake to the lake shuffling.

The fleece and gondolas float the park.

Note - What a clean! True - clean, where they do not grieve ..

Fountain in the park.

Oh, our old friend :))) We have seen such a boat in Albany))

Gradually, the fog fell to the city, evening.

We decided to see Chinatown and at the same time to eat there.

Surprisingly, in Boston, even Chinatown, some kind of Irish))

In addition to the signs and the residents themselves, nothing speaks about China. Architecture and styles - Typically Boston))

There are no familiar red balls, no dragons, no something else.

Suddenly rains began and we decided to wait for it in a Chinese cafe, at the same time and swell.

Slow turned out to be completely demolished, even tasty. Having headquarted on the city.

Central streets of Boston.

Rain retreats! Hooray!

The sun is again in touch ..

After reviewing the city center, we went to change clothes, as they got all the same in the rain. And in the evening we went to the old town dinner! I strongly recommend everyone, there are very steep restaurants!

Stay in touch!
