<i>This is Kaitlyn wearing an outfit from Loft, which she got with her worker's discount. She loves it!</i></div>
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>Where do you work at?</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I am the sales associate at Loft, a clothing store located at Faneuil hall. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>Tell me about the brand. </b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It's a flirty clothing brand geared towards woman. We are one of the divisions of the renowned store, Ann Taylor. The style we offer is very polished and preppy. You have the classic shapes, but also fun, bright colors to play around with. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>Why did you choose this job?</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I love the brand; I wear their clothes. Also, the team was very welcoming from the beginning and I thought it would be interesting to work at such a busy place as Faneuil Hall is. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>What particularly draws you to Faneuil Hall? </b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The variety of people that circulate the stores. It is always a surprise for me who will come through the door of our store – a big family, a wondering tourist, a young couple, a potential college student; all different and unpredictable. There is no pattern, really. And that is exciting to work with. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>Would you say that the location of the store influenced your decision to take the job?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Definitely. It is a privilege to work at Faneuil Hall; I love it. It never ceases to interest me; there are so many options! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>Yet, you told me you are being transferred to another location. Is that right? </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Next semester I will be working at the Prudential for Loft, too. It will be an interesting change; both locations offer different things. The mall gives stability and regular costumers; a place like Faneuil Hall is unpredictable... people are exploring, always with a sense of curiosity. I feel that at Prudential I will get more costumers that will actually buy the clothes and will come in knowing the brand and what they want. <u>Where I work now it feels like they are there for the ride; even if it's not their style they want to take a look and see what new thing they can find.</u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><u><br /></u></span>

<span style="color: #274e13;"><i>The Green Madness of Irish Pubs </i></span></h2>
<div>
<span style="color: #274e13;">What? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #274e13;">A<i> </i><b style="font-style: italic;">pub</b> is an abbreviation for public house – a drinking establishment that comes from British, Irish, Australian and Canadian cultures primordially. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #274e13;">Its history can be tracked back to the Roman taverns </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #274e13;">Where? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #274e13;">Found in villages mainly</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #274e13;">What?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #274e13;">They offer beer, wines and soft drinks</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #274e13;">Why? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #274e13;">Social atmosphere where one can interact with friends, meet people and celebrate</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #274e13;">But, <i>why? </i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #274e13;">An Irish pub connotes freedom and rebellion. In the Middle Ages, the pub was a welcoming setting where people would gather to sing, relax, tell stories and exchange gossip and rumors. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #274e13;">In the 19th century, the Irish pub was regarded as illegal by the oppressive British rule. Gradually, with the free-spirited and untamed spirit of the Irish, which characterized these social setting, the pubs began to flourish again. Before, it was were the rebels got together to complain of the crown and coordinate underground rebellions. Today, <b>in Boston</b>, it is where the juvenile, college "rebels" gather to challenge the drinking age, their ability to consume alcohol, to chug! chug! and what not, and the boundaries of a city that continues to be conservative in its core. The youth gathers, all high on green madness, the fever of the young soul who is thirsty for the medicine and adrenaline given at Irish pubs. </span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> You
know this tale or at the very least remember the poignant and exclaimed phrase
“The British are coming!” from your fourth grade history class. Maybe you had
read a poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow about the fateful night that made a
local Boston craftsman a Revolutionary hero years after America gained
independence from Great Britain. Maybe you remember the saying, “One if by
land. Two if by sea.” Either way, you probably know Paul Revere; the
horse-riding silversmith who made the Old North Church a signal tower and
himself a patriot.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> In Boston though, history is not history.
History is buildings; history is the Boston Common; history is not dead. With
that said, it comes as no surprise that one can come to a city like this and
not walk into a piece of the American Revolution. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> For example, you can take a walk down the
Freedom Trail and as you meander through the streets of Boston, you are walking
past the graves of colonists, standing where the Boston Massacre took place and
even standing upon the deck of the USS Constitution herself in Charlestown. As
you make your way about, cars come flinging past as if suddenly reminding you
that you’re standing in 2013, not 1776.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> At one point in the middle of all that you
may find yourself in the city’s “Little Italy,”-or as the locals simply call
it-the North End. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> Besides being home to pastries and pasta,
the North End is also home to a statue of Paul Revere, where you can find it
canopied by trees and surrounded by bricks (and most likely tourists with
digital cameras) in a walled memorial park known as The Paul Revere Mall on
Hanover Street. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> The bronze-coated replica of Revere
stands high above the heads of its admirers. His head his down. His left arm is
out. His horse seems to be riding nobly onward as if it knew the importance of
the man on its back.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> Cyrus Edwin Dallin, the statue’s sculptor,
came to Boston in 1880, to work as an apprentice to Truman H. Bartlett, the
father of a respected sculptor named Paul Bartlett. In 1882 Dallin was able to
open his own studio. Three years later, his model for a statue of Revere won in
the competition for the figure’s design, which became arguably his most famous
work.<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6399368128536711061#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">[1]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> Today the statue is not only a tourist
attraction but also a symbol of Boston as well, gracing the front of post cards
and even acting as a scene setter for movies that take place in the city, such
as “Fever Pitch,” released in 2005.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> Yet this emblem of Boston was not so
easily set in stone. The commission that accepted Dallin’s model did not
finalize the exact design until 1899.<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6399368128536711061#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">[2]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> The mall is where Webster Avenue, a small
street that was home to tenement buildings, used to be in the mid-1920’s,
Jeremy C. Fox said in a 2012 Boston.com article. The 17 buildings were
abolished-kicking out 100 angry North End residents-to make way for a
playground, the Elliot School and then the mall. Displaced residents often
stole construction materials and fought back against the city with the law.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> James Michael Curley, the Boston Mayor at
the time and future Massachusetts governor and congressman, had originally
thought of the idea of the public space. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> According to Fox, Curley’s vision came
from the City Beautiful Movement, which was popular in Boston in the early
1900’s. The project would also create construction jobs during the Great
Depression while also helping Curley with his chances to gain the
Italian-American vote in his US Senate election. By removing the slums, the
mall would connect the Old North Church with St. Stephen’s Church. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> Dallin’s work of art was finally installed
four years before his death in 1940. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> Revere made his famous ride on April 18,
1775. He rode through the countryside between Lexington and Concord warning
colonists to arm themselves for the arrival of British soldiers. However,
Revere never made it to Concord for he was caught by the British, released, and
then sent back to Lexington without a horse.<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6399368128536711061#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">[3]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> The statue that sits behind the Old North
Church as if Revere was going to gallop down Hanover is not only a symbol for
America; for the birth of a nation, but also of a community. The Revere home is
only a few blocks away in the North End where tourists and visitors can walk
through the old green, wooded house in the footsteps of Paul himself. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> Standing around the statue for a few
minutes, one can see these tourists pose for a quick Kodak moment, stare up at
the figure for a few seconds, and quickly continue on their way through the
mall as the top of the Old North Church guides their footsteps and their
attention. Maybe the true meaning of the statue is lost on them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

By: Julie Whalen<br />
<br />
Street performers were always one of my favorite things in the city when I was little. It didn't matter if it was a man playing the guitar or a group dancing, I always made my family stop and watch. There was something about their energy, commitment and heart that made me feel the need to stay and watch.<br />

As more and more people surrounded the more excited I became. The suspense was building and I was ready for the show. Finally they started picking people from the crowd to jump over. I was a pretty shy girl so I tried my best to sink back into the crowd. But the dancers were having none of that. One of the guys pointed to me and dragged me over to stand in a line of four other people. My heart was racing, i was nervous he was going to land on me since i was near the end of the line. But after much more added suspense he took his running start and flipped over the five people. The crowd went wild my heart began to beat at a normal pace. That memory tends to stick out to me whenever I think of Faneuil Hall. its one of my favorites that i know i will never forgetAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08837536400843841367noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6399368128536711061.post-12112992348919729942013-03-19T08:00:00.002-07:002013-03-19T08:00:14.704-07:00Interview with Alex Brown<br />

<div style="font: 12.0px Times New Roman; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">AB: It’s accessibility to the city and such.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">JM: Like on the T?</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">AB: Well I mean how it’s pushing lower income people out and just like screwing them over. That’s what the issue is with gentrification.

<div style="font: 12.0px Times New Roman; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">AB: I mean it kinda makes sense. A ton of people who are like moving in are yuppies in there 20’s that are sorta just getting by off of super super wealthy parents, driving the rent up and a lot of people who have been living there for decades who haven’t necessarily had fix rent, but people who assumed that the rent would stay the same, now it’s going up and it’s pushing all of them out.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; text-align: justify;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> One very important Boston landmark which tourists seem to find interesting but native Bostonians (like me) seem not to really notice is the Massachusetts State House. Completed in 1798, it has been the seat of the state legislature ever since and is </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">— I am told </span>— one of the iconic symbols of the city. Located sprawling across 24 Beacon Street, it is an imposing yet elegant structure which looks over the Boston Common like a very real kind of judicial <span style="font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0px;">“big brother.”</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">For sure, the most obvious and eye-catching feature of the building is the golden dome crowning it. On sunny days, it shines so brightly that it can be seen for miles, and even when it</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0px;">’s cloudy it is still almost as visible. The gold is real gold leaf; the dome was originally lined with copper (installed by Paul Revere</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0px;">’s smithing company), then painted, and was later gilded in 1874 </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';">— that gold deteriorated over the years, and was finally re-gilded by order of the Commonwealth in 1997.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"> My group spent a reasonable amount of time walking around the State House, looking at the architecture, the surroundings, and the people milling around. Probably the most memorable episode from our trip was something which caught Kendi</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: center;">’s</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';"> eye on the gate to the entrance on the building</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; text-align: center;">’s right-hand side, a sign which read </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';">“Hooker Entrance.” We giggled like teenagers do and went off to look for this possibly licentious entrance. We found it on the building</span><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">’s left wing dominated by a massive bronze statue of the notorious ladies man General Joseph Hooker on horseback to welcome visitors. Kendi still found this so funny that, as I remember, he insisted on being photographed in front of the pedestal bearing the name </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';">“Hooker”; for fun, in a great moment of naughtiness I suggested that he pose holding a dollar bill, which he did, and the desired</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';"> effect was achieved.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"> Since we were going to be walking around Beacon Hill, in truth I had expected that we might visit the State House, however I made the mistake of also expecting that it would be boring </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';">— obviously, I was wrong.</span></div>

Located on 30 Germania Street in Boston, Massachusetts the
Samuel Adams Brewery is one of the most unique and popular places in Jamaica
Plain. Although you must be 21 and over to witness this historic brewery tour
it is must-see part of the Jamaica Plain suburb of Boston for of-age adventurers.
I sent my investigative reporter, Conor McDonough, to experience the brewery.<o:p></o:p></div>

McDonough explained. “They took you through all the steps in preparing, making
and bottling the beer.” He later explained how Samuel Adams let you smell and
taste ingredients as well as sample some of their most famous beers. “They let
our group taste up to fifteen beers by just passing them around and in my
opinion about ten of them were really good.” McDonough also went on to say that
some of the last beers they tasted were new beers added to the Samuel Adams
collection. “I think they made us the test dummies for some of the new beers
and although some of them weren’t too good I was happy they were utilizing my
feedback.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once you are old enough to experience the brewery, Samuel
Adams offers tours Monday through Thursday from 10AM till 3PM, Fridays from
10AM till 5:30PM, and Saturdays from 10AM till 3PM. Finally, the best part
about this brewery tour is that it is 100 percent free but donations are always
greatly appreciated.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">As a rice-and-bean vegetarian who loves food yet
knows very little about it, the North End with its vast array of choices can be
a wildly overwhelming place. Especially when my mother is with me, hungry, a meat-eater,
and I’m a college student trying to prove knowing my way around – while eating
on a dime.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Fortunately, while wandering around the North End, I
took a dive into the lovely corner restaurant that is the Florentine Café – a surefire
win based on the name alone, similar to my mother’s favorite haunt in Venice: Café
Florian. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Located on the corner of Hanover and Prince, and renovated in 1995,
the Café has served the Boston area for over seventy years, and welcomes
costumers with an old-world charm as well as a contemporary sophistication. Of
course, initially entering a place with fine wooden furnishings, enormous
windows, and sweet paintings made my pocketbook skittish, but within moments
these fears were laid to rest. While not cheap, the menu was perfectly
manageable on my bi-weekly Emerson Stage paycheck, yet suitably nice enough to
treat my magnificent mother. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The space itself it wonderful and comfortable, with
light music playing and the classic North End windows that open from door to
ceiling and wall to wall, allowing plenty of fresh air (when warm enough) and
ambient noise. The food was simple and delicious, easily pleasing vegetarian
and omnivore alike – for just over twenty dollars, I was able to order two
salads, two paninis, and drinks for us as a pair – and seriously, thess paninis
were the perfect balances of melting cheese, fresh tomatoes, crisp mesclun, and
a splendid array of herbs. Thinking about it just made me hungry. Perhaps
greatest of all was that in moniker it reminded my mother of Venice; but it
food and charisma, service and charm, she immediately noted: “wow, this is so
like our French café in Los Angeles!” Wrong nationality, but high compliment:
she was always happiest when we lived in LA. Clearly, Café Florentine is a
success in every way. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: white;"> If you are a food lover, or particularly fond of sweets, then the North End is the place to be. Hanover Street is known for being flooded by family owned pastry shops, that honor traditional recipes straight from Italy with their unique and tasty treats. Mike's Pastry, which is world renowned for its mouth watering desserts, constantly has crowds lining the streets even on week days. If you show up outside its doors on a weekend night though expect to wait...and when I say wait I mean at least an hour. The desserts are good, but good enough to wait an hour for? Thank god for options. </span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: white;"> If you are impatient like me, then there is another option right around the corner. And believe me you won’t be selling yourself short! Though Modern Pastry always has the shorter line of the two, this pastry shop is just as famous and delicious. If you're lucky you can snag one of the few tables inside and savor some of the most fantastic pastry outside of Italy.</span></span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> <span style="color: white;"> Loyal customers expect freshness every time they receive one of Modern’s quality desserts, which is one of the reasons they keep coming back again and again. After a short chat with a customer in front of me I learned that Mikes always wins when it comes to snagging the tourists, but Modern Pastries is loved by the locals. Mikes may have a larger menu, Modern’s smaller menu ensures that no items will be sitting around waiting to be bought up...plus the same pastries are far more expensive at Mikes. Why pay more when you are getting the same product for half the price?! </span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: white;"> I’ve been to Mikes a couple of times, so of course I had to try out this rivalry pastry shop, and see what all the hype was about. I was not disappointed. The cannoli I ordered was rich, creamy, and filled with whipped ricotta that put my favorite New York pastry shop to shame. My vote goes to Modern. It’s true, the locals definitely know whats best!</span></span></div>

<br />
In the North End, you basically only have one real choice for pizza. Now, sure, you can pay three bucks a slice for some oily slice yo'll probably need a couple of to fill you up to satisfy your novelty quota. If you want a great slice on the cheap, you go to Haymarket Pizza.<br />
<br />
Al, going into his 20th year owning this place, said that it he loves the ins and outs of it. They're open early and closed early and entirely on Sundays. It's just part of the local schedule.<br />
<br />
Cheese slices are $1.50, 2-topping slices are $2.50, calzones are $4 and there's a whole array of toppings, stuffings, whatever can go on mozzarella, tomato sauce and bread. It's affordable and it's for the customers of Haymarket and for you. They do sell whole pizza pies, but in one size only, $8-10.<br />
<br />
The sauce has a good tang and a small kick to it, the cheese melts well, the crust makes for a good chewy afterthought and there's always full coverage of toppings.<br />
<br />
The establishment looks to occupy an old storehouse of some kind, with its table area in an open space, lit by the outside and some typical fluorescent lighting. There's always NECN playing in the back, a vending machine and a little game for the kids. Until a few years ago, there was an Atari arcade machine with Mrs. Pac-Man and Galaga on it.<br />

(and the people of JP!)By Megan Roy<br />

<br />
Upon doing a little "presearch" before my visit to Jamaica Plain, I happened upon one of the suburbs' most well-known practices: the Wake Up the Earth Festival. Held on the first Saturday of every May since 1979, this festival originated in response to the city of Boston's plan to run the I-95 freeway through the center of Jamaica Plain, splitting the neighborhoods in half. After rallying people together from local areas, this festival managed to raise enough protesting signatures that the city revoked it's former freeway plans.<br />
Since this initial festival, Wake Up the Earth has grown to represent not just this achievement, but Jamaica Plain's unity as a whole. Sponsored by Spontaneous Celebrations, this festival is a collective gathering for people of all ages to come together and celebrate the wonderful talents of the locals. From music, plays and dancing to food from local vendors; from crafts, pageants and kid's activities to 21+ bar areas, this 6-hour festival is an annually anticipated event attended by approximately 10,000 people and counting!<br />
<br />

<br />
After finding all of this information online, naturally, I was expecting to hear a huge response when I visited JP and interviewed some locals. I was looking forward to creating a blog post about their opinions on the festival, their favorite aspects, and how they've enjoyed the festivals of the past. However, after interviewing 30 locals around Centre St. in Jamaica Plain in stores, around the pond, and on the streets, I was shocked to discover that virtually <i>no one</i> knew much about the festival at all! Of the 30 I interviewed, only 6 people could tell me anything about the festival, and only 2 had ever even <i>been.</i> When talking to a man named Keith Carpentier, a local living in the JP area for upwards of 5 years, he stated that the only thing he knew about the festival was that it made it harder to drive around town. Another man named Elliot who I'd interview in a local coffee shop, stated that he'd lived in town for over 10 years and had never been to the festival or heard much about it. I was absolutely shocked.<br />
I found myself left at the end of my journey wondering how to really approach what I'd learned. Although the festival is amazing and sounds like fun, virtually no one I'd interviewed knew much about it. Whether the festival isn't as fantastic as I'd thought or the 30 people I interviewed were the most sheltered citizens of Jamaica Plain, I will not know. However, Wake Up the Earth sounds like a great experience with a good cause that is fun for the whole family! But, you might want to take Keith's advice and take the T to get there.<br />
<br />
This year's Wake Up the Earth festival will be taking place on Saturday, May 4th.

Acorn Street is a small lane of houses located in Beacon Hill. This street has original cobblestones still paving its floor and small but beautiful houses on either side of it. Acorn Street is one of the most photographed streets in the United States. Here are some images to demonstrate its beauty.<br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> I’ve always believed that
with any destination, over half of the experience is getting there. This kind
of destination can refer to an actual location on this earth, or it can refer
to some kind of ultimate dream. Most of the time, when I think about journeys
and where they lead, I’m talking about the latter. But for today’s purpose, I’m
going to talk about the physical destination. This destination is the kind
where you have to use your own two feet to take you somewhere. To my surprise,
I’ve gained a lot more memories by actually going somewhere than just thinking
about where I want to go. One of my favorite destinations to go to make journey
memories is Boston.</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: 200%;"> </span><span style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">These two pictures are of me, my sister and my four
cousins on a statue of a donkey in the summer of 2005. You may not know it, but
this statue is just behind the King’s Chapel on School Street downtown. It’s
off of the Freedom Trail and just around the corner from the Faneuil Hall
marketplace.</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> The markets were “the place” to go when I was younger.
Being from southern New Hampshire, the city is close enough for a day trip but
far enough to feel like you’re on an adventure. The area surrounding the
markets is the perfect place to get a little taste of everything. On this
particular day, we walked the entire Freedom Trail, seeing everything there was
to possibly see. It was the first time I really experienced Boston and started
to love everything it has to offer. This picture was completely impromptu, but
it turned into much more than that over the next several years.</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: 200%;"> </span><span style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This picture is me on the same donkey in the fall of
2011. The day this picture was taken was a designated college tour day. I
visited Emerson College and Suffolk University (don’t hate me) with my mom, and
I was scared out of my mind. When I saw the donkey, though, I couldn’t help but
take this picture because it just made me smile. And I was hoping it would make
my cousins smile, too.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: 200%;"> </span><span style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This last picture features me, my sister and my cousins sitting
on the same donkey walking the same Freedom Trail this past summer, three weeks
before I moved into my dorm room at Emerson, to be exact. This is the last time
I visited Boston before I started my life here and started calling it my home.
I can’t describe exactly what I felt on that day…besides hot, because it was at
least ninety degrees outside.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> What I do remember, though, is not believing that silly
donkey had become a tradition for the six of us. I remember being excited to
visit Faneuil Hall for the last time as a tourist. I remember being nervous
about leaving my family behind, but at the same time I was excited to open this
new chapter in my life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> So even though it might not involve a donkey, look for
the things that create memories on every journey you take. You never know: the
journey could be more important to you than actually reaching your destination.</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Street.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

warmer months, the trees provide shade in just about every inch of the mall and
you can always find a seat on one of the many benches along the perimeter. If
you are a history buff, you may even find yourself reading the plaques along
the walls honoring famous North End Residents, like Revere, and world war
veterans. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

to the mall at the school next-door. To be honest, it may not be the most
reliable source of entertainment for the kids since the play area may not
always be open. Either way, the kids will be glad to be out of the house. Give
them a coin for the fountain in the center instead, if the playground is
closed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

It snowed pretty much everywhere else, too, but on the corridors of Blackstone and Hanover Streets, there were tents and stands. Haymarket was vastly unoccupied, save for the few stands that were there with the manpower of one. People still came to get their produce, their cheese and delicatessen, their fish and halal food.<br />
<br />
If you just passed by the last fish and halal market, you'd find someone wearing a beret and snazzy glasses, tending to a stand of oranges. He's Pat Campo. He doesn't do slam poetry, though.<br />
<br />
Every morning, he with Tony Produce and maybe a son or two, like others before him in the family, would step out to the docks at 2am. They, with good company and competition, would bid and deal and haggle for some of the excess produce shipments on offer. Most often, these carrots or potatoes are a little old, not as appealing to the eye. Maybe you'd have a little more work to do in the kitchen, but they're fine. Apples and pineapples and other fruit would be near ripe. The navels and grapefruits, though, are probably the best, sweetest and juiciest for picking. Huge boxes of all these and more in exchange for some money and they head off to whatever they're doing for the day.<br />
<br />
In Campo's case, most every other day of the week you'll find him with a pushcart. Fridays and Saturdays, though, you'll find him at Haymarket, working 18 hours a day. He's an enthusiastic fellow, calling everyone he meets by name, by "cousin" or by "sweetheart." He begs everyone to "try a piece of candy," that his fruits are "sugar" and "sweet."<br />
<br />
Unlike some of the other vendors, he's happy to strike up a good conversation while he bags your six-for-a-dollar "sweeeeeeet!" Florida navels.<br />
<br />
I was fortunate enough for him to have me behind the counter for a half hour with Campo. Here's a bit of how he operates.<br />

I'm having huge difficulties with account access on desktops and I.m only able to post from mobile at the moment which is proving to be a hassle. I have both of my feature videos from the North End edited and posted to YouTube on "greenpoint0" but until Google decides it wants to let me in on the computer ans not just on my phone, I'm not able to do much about it.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
By: Jack Capotorto<br />
I ventured into Jamaica Plain to do
some research and I decided to interview local Kolby Woodfield. Kolby is a junior
at Emerson College and has been living in Jamaica Plain for almost a year. I
asked him a couple of questions about what it is like living in Jamaica Plain
as a student at Emerson. <o:p></o:p></div>

living in Jamaica Plain as a college student?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
Kolby Woodfield: It’s different
because it is a much older crowd than living in the dorms. There are also a lot
of young kids just out of college who have jobs so throwing parties is
difficult because of this sort of crowd.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
JC: How is transportation to and
from campus to your home?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
KW: The bus system isn’t good but
getting to campus is breeze because the Chinatown stop is right next to campus.
The people on this T-Line, however, are very diverse which could lead to
altercations, which is why you have to be alert.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
JC: What recreational things are
there to do in Jamaica Plains?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
KW: There are a lot of parks and
the arboretum, which has plants and trees. There are many good restaurants
around which makes JP the perfect place to take a date out.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
JC: Oh really? Does JP impress the ladies?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
KW: Yeah cause you have your own
place and you can go on many adventures. The ladies like the variety of the
date spots in Jamaica Plain. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
JC: Would you live there post
college and possibly raise a family there?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
KW: Yes, because it is much more
age appropriate for college graduates. Jamaica Plain has a lot of space for
homes and it is very easy to renew leases. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
If I was a professor at one of
these fine Boston schools I could easy drive or take the T into the city to
teach. It is also safe enough for me to have children there.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
JC: Is Jamaica Plain safe?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
KW: Although it doesn’t appear so,
it is compared to many of the suburbs of Boston. It is very family friendly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
JC: How long is the commute to school?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
KW: Anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes
and this depends on the T and the weather, which are always unpredictable. It
is also way too expensive to take a cab. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
JC: Does that take away from this
area of living?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
KW: Yes the commute really takes
away from it because I’m so far away from my friends across town or on campus.
It is especially bad when I have to take my baseball gear or when the weather
is terrible.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
JC: Anything else you want to talk
about Jamaica Plain?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
KW: There are several CVS’s and 7
Elevens around but not to many places to go food shopping at least where I am
from in JP. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
Dick's Last Resort, in Faneuil Hall, is not just a restaurant it's an experience. Expect to be insulted, laughed at, and have things thrown at you because this experience isn't suppose to be pleasant. Dick's is known for its laid back atmosphere and staff that is trained in insults. Along with the insults, hats are given with rude remarks to add to the atmosphere.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Having been to Dick's more then once I have had first-hand experience of this bad-mannered service and loved it. Not only were napkins and straws thrown at me when I first arrived, the waitress threatened to draw a penis on my face and chucked my food at me. Those funny hats really add to the meal as well. I've seen phrases such as, easier to get into community college, I love viagra, and I stuff my bra sharpied onto crazy paper hats. I received dirty looks and nasty remarks from other workers if they walked past me. It was the best, worst food service I have ever received. Just remember not to take yourself or anyone else to seriously and sit back and enjoy the offensive atmosphere that Dick's provides.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">By Jennifer Currier</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Visiting the
Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market area of
Downtown Boston is quite the experience as a whole. As many facets of city life
make up this small community, though, it’s hard to describe said experience in
general terms. But no matter how old you are, where you come from or what your
reason for going to this area might be, everyone who goes to the markets should
have something to say about one particular thing: the food.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Like most of traditional New
England, the restaurants of Quincy Market take pride in making the tastiest and
most memorable meals they can. When standing next to popular tourist
attractions such as Cheers and Dick’s Last Resort, it can be tough for the
smaller and possibly less noticeable restaurants to fill their tables.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> For anyone who knows it’s there,
Durgin Park is a traditional restaurant that is the perfect place for people of
all ages to enjoy a classic New England meal. This experience starts when you
walk through the ground-floor door and ends long after you have left the
restaurant.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> The ground floor has a small,
wood-paneled lobby complete with windows that peek into ovens used to slowly
roast the restaurant’s fresh meat selection. From there, guests are asked to
walk up a steep flight and a half of stairs to reach the main dining rooms.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Once upstairs, the first thing you
see are the checkerboard tablecloths covering tables that hold anywhere from
four to twenty people. All the chairs surrounding the table are refinished
antiques that glide nicely along the restaurant’s original, hardwood floors.
Waiters and waitresses wear old-fashioned uniforms: black bottoms with a white,
collared shirt and a small white apron. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Then
you finally get to enjoy one of Durgin Park’s famous New England dishes. Here
are some of most popular menu items: clam chowder, roast beef sandwiches,
chicken potpie, boiled lobster, baked macaroni and cheese, filet mignon and
Thanksgiving On A Bun. Don’t let the title be cause for intimidation; this
sandwich is everything New Englanders love about the holiday—that hits very
close to home—and then some.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">No
matter what other restaurants across the country claim, there is no better place
to eat real, New England food than New England. Durgin Park is a master at
providing diners with an incredible array of traditional, northeastern,
home-cooked meals as all of their food is prepared in-house, made with secret
recipes and always served fresh.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">More
importantly than the food, this restaurant creates a comfortable atmosphere
that is warm and comfortable, much like what you could find in most New England
homes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">For
this college student, a visit to Durgin Park can be just what I need to make me
feel like I’m at home and to remember why I love being a New Englander so much.</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

This video captures an evening that I spent with Jeremy (a Jamaica Plain native) and some of his friends in the Jamaica Plain area. Our main objective during our time was to find something that makes everyone happy: food. We trekked through Jamaica Plain and Forest Hills in order to find some scrumptious grub. Throughout our journey, we checked out some cool parks, including the famous arboretum. In addition to the food, we found an awesome yoga studio located in the heart of the neighborhood. Jamaica Plain seems like a lovely area, with a nice mix of friendly, working class adults and hip college students. The neighborhood offers great leisure and recreation. It won’t be too long before I am stretching in a downward dog position after eating a rice and bean burrito from around the corner in Jamaica Plain. <span class="s1"></span></div>

<br />
<h4>
So.</h4>
As most of the people I know at Emerson College have heard by now, I am from the middle of a desert known as Palmdale, California. With a population of 156,000, spread thin over 104 flat square miles, and temperatures that reach over 110 degrees in the summer, my city is, uh... Quite a hoot. My sheer excitement to have emerged from this desolate "city" has led me to bring it up more than its fair share of times in conversation.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Hello, home.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
As you can see, making the shift from Palmdale to Boston was a large one. And, naturally, I've noticed an enormous number of differences between the two areas. It would probably be harder to actually find <i>similarities</i> between the cities, if anything. However, when looking at Jamaica Plain, it was hard not to find some glaringly obvious contrasts between the brown world I grew up in and the strange new world I was visitng.<br />
<br />
<h3>
1) SNOW.</h3>

Apparently I lived a childhood supremely deprived of the color white. I thought it was insane walking around, hearing people groan as they swiped snow off of a car windshield or trudged through the snowdrifts in their rain boots. I giggled as I tromped through the stuff wearing flared jeans and some $10 knock-off Converse from Payless. Guess it just depends on where you were raised.<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
2) Different states seem to exist here.</h3>
<div>
Since California is abnormally large, and I am from an area no one really drives multiple hours to visit, I am very accustomed to the "number-letter-letter-letter-number-number-number" California license plates. It is crazy to remember how <i>small</i> states on the east coast really are! In Jamaica Plain, I was finding license plates from more states than I could keep track of.</div>

<h3>
3) The color green.</h3>
<div>
Akin to my awareness of the state of Virginia, I forgot that nature possesses this color known as "green". This bush in someone's yard in the dead of winter most likely holds more pigment than the whole of the bushes I encountered while living in Palmdale.</div>

<h3>
4) The houses don't all look the same.</h3>
<div>
Palmdale is not a city I would particularly classify as having a unique "character", per se. In essence, every house in my neighborhood is a variation of 3 different floor plans, cookie-cuttered onto cul-de-sacs to give every housing tract a nice, creepy, deja-vu atmosphere. While walking down Burrough Street to Jamaica Pond, however, I didn't see a single house that was a replication of another. They all had their own <i>personality. </i>The Palmdalian architects could really take a hint from places like Jamaica Plain.</div>

Palmdale <i>never </i>takes the time to warn its citizens about children performing Russian Leaps across the city streets. Who would want to hit a person so happily gallivanting over the asphalt? Certainly not me. For shame, desert folk. For shame.<div>

<div>
<h3>
6) People walking places.</h3>
<div>
Despite Palmdale's large population, everyone is spread out <i>so</i> thinly that it's nearly impossible to live in an area where everything you need is accessible by walking. At best, you will see people biking around the city, but walkers are virtually non-existent. The occasional "hi" I got from passers-by on the street of Jamaica Plain reminded me that human interaction is actually normal.</div>

<h4>
And so...</h4>
<div>
I may have begun by saying I was pointing out differences... Yet it seems, in fact, that maybe I was only finding what I believed were <i>improvements</i>. Nonetheless, without continually bashing my hometown, Jamaica Plain was filled with wonderful surprises and welcome differences from the place where I grew up.</div>
<div>
If anything, I guess I discovered that so much of what you see is dependent on perspective.</div>
<div>
...and I also relearned the existence of variety, nature, atmosphere, love, and Virginia. But that may be besides the point.</div>
