I was EXPOSED to alot of Boston's architecture via a job I had in college. I drove a food delivery truck for STAR MARKET. We not only saw the outsides of alot of amzing places, we saw the insides, too. There were alot of excellent old mansions around Dartmouth Street and up and down Commonwealth Avenue and in Beacon Hill. You would not believe the Penthouse views. And some of these places did not have elevators. And some that did had ancient DC-powered ones that had WARNING notices on the outside that said they might STOP a odd times. There's architecture by H.H. Richardson like the Copley Square Church. And works done by I.M. Pei. Matter of fact, I.M. Pei and his associates have designed several major buildings around Boston. They've designed the Hancock Building in Copley Square, and the West Wing of the Museum of Fine Arts. But the one that I like the best is the Kennedy Library in Dorchester. It really looks impressive facing out to sea. If you need a good mapbook of Boston, here's an popular one: UNIVERSAL ATLAS OF METROPOLITAN BOSTON & EASTERN MASS 165 Maps, including house buying information. (Universal Pubs; Stoughton, MA; 1991) I got mine at WORDSWORTH of Harvard Square 30 Brattle Street, Cambridge. And TWO books to help you find & enjoy BOSTON's architecture: A.I.A. GUIDE TO BOSTON by Susan & Michael Southworth (Globe Pequot Press; Chester, CT; 1984) AMERICAN ARCHITECTURE a field guide to the most important examples by William Dudley Hunt, Jr (Harper & Row; New York; 1984) Boston's Chinatown has architectural delights, too. There's the Chinese Gate. And more.... ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------- CHINA ------------------------------------- Here's a recipe for one of China's favorite delicacies: SHARKS' FIN SOUP ---------------- 12 oz sharks' fin 6 tbsp bamboo shoots 1 inch knob of fresh ginger 10 cups hot chicken stock 1 clove crushed garlic 2 tbsp Shao Shing or COLD water sherry soya sauce 1 leg of a chicken 1 tsp sesame oil 1/2 cup raw breast of chicken VINEGAR 1/4 cup Chinese ham SALT SOAK the sharks' fins in water for 24 hours. BOIL them slowly for 4 hours with ginger & garlic in double the amount of water required to cover them. DRAIN and remove any flesh on the fins. Put it in a basin, place the chicken leg on top, and steam slowly for 2 hours. REMOVE the chicken leg and any water which may have dropped on the fins. SHRED chicken breast, ham, and bamboo shoots into fine strips. Put sharks' fins into saucepan, pour in enough stock to cover and boil for 5 minutes. ADD chicken, ham, bamboo shoots and wine, and simmer for another 5 minutes. ADD a few drops of soya sauce, sesame oil, vinegar & salt to taste and serve. from page 73 of the book: THE WORLD OF SOUPS by Nina Froud (Ballantine Books; New York; 1972) I picked up a book with super photos of CHINA at the BUILDING 19 store in Burlington, Mass. It's: CHINA Grand Tours of the World (Torstar Books; New York; 1986) CHINESE HISTORY Library Old Chinese newspapers are at the American Antiquarian Museum in Worcester, Mass.

From 91 of the book: THE PATIENT COMES FIRST a nurse speaks out by Nancy Fox (Prometheus Books; Buffalo, New York; 1988) Chapter 10 has an interesting discussion of Chinese Houses of Respect. And how in China you don't retire, you refire! And how life is an UPWARD journey. "The SUNSET can be just as beautiful as the SUNRISE!"

There's a Lithuanian Franciscan Monastery up there that runs a MOTEL within walking distance of downtown. PERFECT location. It's secluded & quiet, too. Great place to unwind. They have a special breakfast where they serve Lithuanian breads & such. And they have a salt-water swimming pool. IF you ASK, you can get a sticker for your car that will let you park at & use the local BEACHES! And there's plenty of stores in Kennebunkport. I picked up a copy of a great PIANO INSTRUMENTAL CD up there. It's: TWO HEARTS by Peter Kater (PDK; 1986; PDK CD-4001) And Portland, Maine is a short distance away. Just NORTH up the coast. There are many artists galleries and gift shops there, too. And you can catch a boat to HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA from Portland And learn about the OAK ISLAND MYSTERY. A place where either the FRENCH but more likely the ENGLISH buried some gold after the Revolutionary War. And if you keep heading NORTH up the coast of MAINE you'll soon come to Freeport, Maine. That's where L.L. Bean is. My youngest brother & his wife gave me a sweater made in Norway from there. And don't forget a pack of BICYCLE PLAYING CARDS from the U.S.Playing Card Company Cincinati, Ohio 45212 ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------- MOTORCYCLES ARE EVERYWHERE ------------------------------------- I let a motorcyclist zip in front of me once when I drove a delivery truck during college. We only traveled a little bit further up to a U-turn on Huntington Ave in Boston when a car (that saw me) booted it, but didn't see the motorcyclist in front of me. Luckily the guy on the motorcycle saw it coming and did some gymnastics to vault off his bike as it crashed into a car. He body slammed a building but at least not his head. And a cop had to bag the car because the driver was about to peel off due to panic. Happens to bicycle riders to. They're riding along and someone throws open a car door and WHAM! This means we need a way to separate the BIKES from the CARS. In the 1st case of motorcyclists, the bikers need to wear COLORED LEATHERS to separate themselves visually from the visual background noise. As for the 2nd case of bicycles, we'd have to talk to an EXPERT in Urban Studies/Planning and put Bicycle paths through the city where possible. There are other areas where there are similar URBAN PLANNING problems in BOSTON. Ever ride the GREENLINE TROLLEY past Boston University? The trolleys go so slow because they have to watch out for cars and pedestrians. This is a WICKED POOR design. An inexpensive solution would be to DIG a special trench, put the trolley tracks into this, have public access paths going down to below ground trolley stops. This would allow the trolleys to go FASTER, would SHELTER them from the SNOW, and minimize accidents with pedestrians. It would also allow the center of Commonwealth Avenue to turn into the French Boulevard with the GREEN SWATH up the middle. The other problem there, pedestrians and cars would still exist. The cars zip along at 40 miles/hour and pedestrians basically step right into their path in a sceond. NO time to stop. Very hard to see pedestrians there on dark and rainy nights. The PERFECT solution would be to put the CARS undergorund there too (briefly). Say from Kenmore Square on up to the Boston University Bridge. This is the HIGH PEDESTRIAN COUNT area. The beauty of this is that it would also give BOSTON UNIVERSITY a quiet GREEN campus. And if we cap off Storrow drive (the Boston University portion) their GREEN campus would extend to the Charles River and be enjoyed by the public, too. This same idea could be applied at Northeastern University on Huntington Avenue, Boston, where they have a similar urban design problem. The GREEN BELT there could run from SYMPHONY HALL and the HUNTINGTON AVENUE PLAYHOUSE, past the YMCA, past WENTWORTH INSTITUTE, on up to the MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS. Someone who would know what to recommend on all this would be PHILLIP L. CLAY whose just been promoted to HEAD of the M.I.T. Department of URBAN STUDIES & PLANNING (July 1st). There's an article on him on page 3 of the April 29, 1992 M.I.T. TECH TALK campus newspaper. You can pick this up for FREE at the Main entrance Hall to M.I.T. on Mass Ave in Cambridge. They also give FREE tours of the campus starting at this same location. A very good writer on Urban Design is LEWIS MUMFORD. A good book: FROM THE GROUND UP observations on Contemporary Architecture, Housing, Highway Building, and Civic Design. by Lewis Mumford (Harcourt Brace Jovanovich; New York; 1956) ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------- ROLL'em ROLL'em ROLL'em ------------------------------------- The Nation's 500th bike path is nearing completion. It's the MINUTEMAN BIKEPATH. It runs from Cambridge, to Arlington, Lexington, and Bedford, Mass. Scheduled for completion in October 3, 1992. When completed it will be 11 miles long. And on CAPE COD there is a bike path called: THE CAPE COD RAIL TRAIL It goes from Dennis out to Eastham. You can see the ocean from several points along that bike route. And there are bike paths in Lincoln, Mass that you can ride on to get part of the way to WALDEN POND in Concord, Mass. If you'd like to read about what Walden Pond was like in the past, you'll find, in reading the book below, that THOREAU lived a short walking distance from Railroad Tracks. WALDEN POND by Henry David Thoreau (Courage Classics; New York; 1990) NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC ------------------- IN THE TRACKS OF THOREAU - page 349 March 1981 ------------------------------------------------------------------ NOTE: If you're looking for old bottles at the bottom of WALDEN POND, don't forget to watch out for the LARGE Snapping Turtles in there. You'll run across them if you go out to far or down to deep. If you put a mask on you'll see them. And, yes, the snapping turtle is Massachusetts' most dangerous critter, but if you're careful, they won't BITE your finger off. ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------- A HOUSE IN THE WOODS ------------------------------------- A few handy books for any household: THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO HOUSE HUNTING by Tyler Stewart Rogers (Avon Books; New York; 1963) THE WELL-EQUIPPED KITCHEN by Nancy Purves Pollard in Alexandria, Virginia (Time-Life; New York; 1978) GOURMET PRESERVES Chez Madeleine by Madelaine Bullwinkel (Contemporary Books; Chicago; 1985) FONDUE, CHAFING DISH & CASSEROLE COOKERY by Margaret Murphy (Hawthorn Books; New York; 1969) HOW THINGS WORK IN YOUR HOME (and what to do when they don't) (Time-Life; New York; 1975) THE CD ROCK & ROLL LIBRARY 30 years of rock & roll on CD by Bill Shapiro (Andrews & McMeel; Kansas City, Missouri; 1988) PLUMBING PRODUCTS CATALOG -> The BOLD look of KOHLER they've got alot of neat sinks & tubs & more.

His name was originally Samuel Wilson. There's a statue dedicated to him near the center there. He went from there to MASON, New Hampshire and then to Troy, New York. In Troy, New York during the WAR of 1812, he worked as an inspector where he shipped meat stamped U.S. to the army. The Uncle Sam poster that says: "I WANT YOU" dates from (1917). The statue is located just down the street from a bagel shop named BAGELS BY US. I think the US is a bagel business in New York, you'll have to check their sign. I think they wanted to say Uncle Sam but a legal business person probably had them change the name to avoid confusion. And NO there bagels are not stamped U.S. ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------- A MIND IS A TERRIBLE THING TO WASTE ----------------------------------- PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME MONEY PLEASE SEND IT INSTEAD TO: --------------------------- United Negro College Fund [**] from page 288 500 East 62nd Street New York, NY 10021 (800) 331-2244 also: (212) 326-1100 (212) 644-9600 This is the Largest BLACK Fundraising organization in the Nation, formed in 1944 to assist historically black colleges & universities to raise funds from the public. LITTLE KNOWN FACTS: President George Bush served as a UNCF volunteer in 1948. I was originally going to donate the money to a BLACK AFRICAN AMERICAN COLLEGE FUND at Harvard or University of Massachusetts or Boston University or Northeastern University but it makes more sense to have it accessible by ALL Black African Americans. I'm sure that if their CUP runeth over they will contribute to other BLACK AFRICAN AMERICAN charities. If you don't want to contribute there (I can't change you) then you might want to contribute to the UNITED WAY which contributes to alot of TRUE charities (the United Way was at one time known as THE COMMUNITY CHEST, like in the game Monopoly). If not the United Way, then here's a good book of TRUE charities that you might be interested in donating to: [**] "A GUIDE FOR GIVING 250 Charities & how they use YOUR money." by Howard Gershen (Pantheon Books; New York; 1990) ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------ "The ART of fighting WITHOUT fighting." - BRUCE LEE from the movie ENTER THE DRAGON ---------------------------------------------------------------- "This is the LAST time....
