A Jersey Girl in Downtown Boston

Donna and I were having lunch in Downtown Boston, the West End near Boston Garden at Jersey Mike's Sub Shop and I looked up and noticed they originated in Point Pleasant, New Jersey. Donna is from Tom's River, New Jersey where she went to highschool but her father was the principal at the high school in Point Pleasant. She thinks she would have been more popular had she gone to highschool there. Mike's Jersey Sub shop just opened recently in Downtown Boston and we hadn't been there before. Scott Lord Donna and I just celebrated our fourteenth anniversary and have lived together for fourteen years, near the West End of Boston, just over the River, in Cambridge, Massachusetts where we can see the Boston Garden and Boston Science Museum from the thirteenth floor.

Paul Revere on the 250th anniversary of the Midnight Ride and postscript

Please note that the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere occurred the day before The Shot Heard Round the World, as was its purpose. During 1772, Paul Revere had made church bells manufactured from copper and tin for several of the churches in Boston.

This is the view of Paul Revere's grave from inside the church, on Brimstone corner, a granary used to store gunpowder during the revolution. Donna is cataloging book donations in the library- I have lunch overlooking the graveyard. Today is Palm Sunday.

Postscript: To commemorate the 250th anniversay of Paul Revere's Ride, The White House noted that the ride was intended to communicate with Sam Adams and John Hancock- both patriots are buried next to Paul Revere and their graves can also be viewed from where I have lunch on Sundays. Today was a week day and Donna bought me brunch in Cambridge, Massachusetts. (We did in fact take part of Brattle Street home. The name of the national park is Longfellow House-Washington Headquarters, but evey time we pass it she asks if its the other yellow house right before it, but she remembers the rabits in the garden.)
