Boston's Neighborhoods: Beacon Hill


www.BostonLuxuryRealEstate.com - An historic, even iconic neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, Beacon Hill is a neighborhood of Federal style rowhouses and is widely known for it's narrow streets, gas lights, brick sidewalks and "village like" atmosphere. With it's ivy covered fences and lovely gardens, it is widely regarded as one of the most desirable and expensive neighborhoods in Boston. Named for the location of a former beacon atop the highest point in central Boston, the hill and two nearby hills were substantially reduced in height to allow the development of housing in the area. The entire hill was once owned by William Blaxton, the first European settler of Boston; from 1625 to 1635. He eventually sold his land to the Puritans Located just north of the Boston Common and Public Garden, Beacon Hill is bounded by the Charles River, Beacon Street and Cambridge Street. A new station of the MBTA Red Line anchors the north end of the neighborhood, and provides easy commuting options to anywhere in the city and beyond - the perfect neighborhood for those without an automobile. The Gold leaf of the Massachusetts State House Rotunda adorns the hill and shines across the Common. The lively sport of Massachusetts politics is acted out on the grounds of the State House on a regular basis. Across from the State House, the Boston Common Frog Pond is a joyful jewel in this historic park. As a reflection and wading pool in the warmer months with a nearby cafe and playground <b>...</b>

Bald Faced Hornets Nest Beacon Hill Park


Bald faced hornets make those large, almost round nests you can see in trees after the leaves have fallen in winter. In the summer, nests are often hidden by vegetation. When winter comes, they abandon the nest, usually by the first frost. They will build a new one, probably somewhere else, next spring. The paper-like covering of the nest is made from chewed up wood, cardboard or paper that the workers will form into the outside nest covering. Hornet nests can also be quite colorful as the wasps will gather nest materials from different sources and different color woods. Nests are generally aerial and they will attach their nests to trees, bushes or sometimes even the side of a structure. Nests that are high in the trees should be left alone. However, if an active nest is well within your "personal" space and their flyway crosses your paths, you may well want to do something about them. So is this a sign to buy a snowblower? nest that high in the air can only mean one thing LOTS OF SNOW coming this winter:)

Beacon Hill Holiday Stroll 2010


www.BeaconHillBusinessAssociation.org - Despite the cold temperatures, The Beacon Hill Holiday Stroll brought people out of their homes and into Beacon Hill, where Charles Street was blocked off for the evening allowing residents and visitors to freely walk the streets, enjoying the stores, food and entertainment. Even the long awaited "CurleyCakes" was open for business, a new venture by restauranteur Todd English. Champagne cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, cookies, crepes and so much more greeted shoppers as they browsed from store to store, serenaded by carolers and a brass band. Horse drawn carriage rides were available all evening, culminating with the lighting of the tree and a visit by Santa Claus.

Get Ready For The Homeless In Beacon Hill Park


Related Blog Post: 642Blog.ca Today the Supreme Court of British Columbia handed down a ruling that declared that the City of Victoria's bylaw against homeless tent cities in city parks was unconstitutional because it violates their Charter rights. This precedent setting ruling has some very interesting consequences for cities across the country, and it should be very interesting to see how it plays out in the months to come. Mayor Alan Lowe goes on record as saying that the city "Is not in the business of providing housing," and I would have to agree with him when he points out that the senior levels of government (Provincial and Federal) should be responsible for housing the homeless. We need solutions to the homeless problem, and unfortunately, tent cities in city parks are not a viable option. What do you think, your comments here, please: 642Blog.ca

Every year the Beacon Hill Business Association sponsors a wonderful start to the holiday shopping season. From 6pm on, Charles Street fills with holiday shoppers and celebrants who stroll down the street, shop, and enjoy the refreshments laid out for them by businesses and retailers. The fun starts earlier for the children, who go to the Hill House fire station for free photos with Santa, and then Santa lights the business district's Christmas tree, officially kicking off the holiday season on Beacon Hill. All the while, visitors enjoy Victorian carolers strolling amongst the crowds and free rides on horse-drawn buggies.
