<br /></div>
<br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">The median age of a resident of Boston is 33.1 years old. Comparatively, the median age of a resident of the entire United States is 36.7 years old. This is largely due to the enormous amount of college students in the area. As a college student, I never factored in the history of Boston into choosing my college. Sure, I loved the city, but aside from the few facts I remembered from AP American Studies, I never really knew the history of the ground I walked on or the skyline I saw everyday to and from my classes. That was, until recently, when I took the chance to learn about the city of Boston. It is absolutely incredible, and something that I believe is truly underappreciated, especially by the hundreds of thousands of college students that live in the area.</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">We learn the history of our ancestors and of our world for a reason. Our professors always told us that it was because history repeats itself, and this may be true, but it's more than just that. It's important to know where we came from and how things came to be. And if you're like me, it's interesting. So I urge you to make the time visit the following landmarks, and the many that I didn't get a chance to list. Celebrate Boston, and as college students, take advantage of not only your future, but the fact that most of these places are free.</span>

<br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Here is a list of some of the famous historical sites in Boston and how to get there by the MBTA:</span>

<br />The Boston Common is the starting point of Boston’s Freedom Trail, a line along the streets of Boston that guides you through various historical landmarks. The park is the oldest in the country, having opened around 1634. It has seen speeches by many famous speakers including Martin Luther King, Jr. and very recently, Barack Obama. Before the revolution, British troops actually camped out on the almost 50 acres that comprises the Common. The T stops near the Common are Park (Red/Green Line) and Boylston (Green Line).
<br />
<br />The Public Garden opened in 1837 and is the oldest public botanical garden in the United States. The garden was designed by George Meacham, who won a public contest with his design. Within the garden you will find Swan Boats that were created and have been operated by the Paget family for over 100 years. Many prominent figures, such as Calvin Coolidge, Shirley Temple, Princess Grace of Monaco, Lucille Ball, and John and Jackie Kennedy have ridden on these boats. You will also find an annual tulip display in the spring of over 9,000 tulips. The garden is accessible by the Arlington and Boylston (both Green Line) Stations.</span>

<br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;">The Boston Public Library was founded in 1848 and was the first large free municipal library in the country. Over 2.2 million people visit the library each year for its architecture, exhibits, or their 6.1 million books or 1.2 million rare books, manuscripts, maps, musical scores, and prints. The first building of the library was a former schoolhouse, but was quickly added on to. The structure cost about $2.5 million to build and was completed in 1895. The library is the official Presidential Library of John Adams and can be reached by the Copley (Green Line) Station.</span></div></div><p style="text-align: left;" class="ListParagraph"> <!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--> <!--[endif]--></p><div style="text-align: left;"> <!--[if gte vml 1]><o:wrapblock><v:shape id="Picture_x0020_1" spid="_x0000_s1027" type="#_x0000_t75" alt="Bunker Hill Monument.jpg" style="'position:absolute;" stroked="t" strokecolor="windowText" strokeweight="2pt"> <v:imagedata src="file:///C:\DOCUME~1\CFRAJE~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\msohtml1\01\clip_image003.jpg" title=""> <w:wrap type="topAndBottom" anchorx="margin"> </v:shape><![endif]--><!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]--><!--[if gte vml 1]></o:wrapblock><![endif]--><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="City"></o:smarttagtype><o:smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="place"></o:smarttagtype><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:worddocument> <w:view>Normal</w:View> <w:zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:punctuationkerning/> <w:validateagainstschemas/> <w:saveifxmlinvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:ignoremixedcontent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:alwaysshowplaceholdertext>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:compatibility> <w:breakwrappedtables/> <w:snaptogridincell/> <w:wraptextwithpunct/> <w:useasianbreakrules/> <w:dontgrowautofit/> </w:Compatibility> <w:browserlevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:latentstyles deflockedstate="false" latentstylecount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if !mso]><object classid="clsid:38481807-CA0E-42D2-BF39-B33AF135CC4D" id="ieooui"></object> <style> st1\:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } </style> <![endif]--><style> <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:Calibri;

<br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">The Bunker Hill Monument stands on Breed’s Hill, the site of the bloodiest battle of the American Revolution. The battle was fought on June 17, 1775 on Breed’s Hill, but was mistakenly recorded as being fought on Bunker Hill. The Americans lost the vicious battle, but in their valiant struggle, they killed or injured about half of the British soldiers. The monument is located in Charlestown and is accessible by bus.</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">

<br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Faneuil Hall was built in 1742 and given to the city of Boston by Peter Faneuil. It is a market house with a large hall, where patriots like Samuel Adams debated the controversial issues of the American Revolution. It has also been used by Frederick Douglass, Susan B. Anthony, and John F. Kennedy. The hall was expanded upon in 1806 and is still used today primarily as a marketplace and a place for debates.</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Quincy Market sits just next to Faneuil Hall and was built by Josiah Quincy in 1826. It was originally proposed as an extension to the markets of Faneuil Hall. Quincy Market was renovated in the 1970s and remains a popular tourist attraction today. Both Quincy Market and Faneuil Hall can be accessed by the Government Center (Green and Blue Lines), Haymarket (Green and Orange Lines), and State (Blue Line) Stations.</span>

<br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Fenway Park is the home of the Boston Red Sox and officially opened on April 20, 1912, making Fenway the oldest professional sports stadium in the United States. Though the stadium has seen several fires and minor renovations, the park mostly remains the way it looked when it opened. It has kept the historical things it is now known for like the manual scoreboard in the outfield. This year, Fenway will be hosting an outdoor ice rink for the Boston Bruins and Philadelphia Flyers in the NHL Winter Classic. Fenway Park can be reached by the Fenway (Green Line) Station.</span>

North End</span>
<br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">The North End is the oldest neighborhood in Boston and is known today for its well-established Italian cuisine. It was first settled by English families, but is now predominantly Italian. Paul Revere lived here, and his house is now a historical landmark. The Old North Church is also located in the North End. You can reach the North End by the Haymarket (Green and Orange Lines) Station.</span>

Old North Church</span>
<br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">The Old North Church was built in 1723. This is the famous church mentioned in Paul Revere’s ride, on April 18, 1775, when he hung the two lanterns. The bells that ring within the tower today are the same bells that Revere rang when he was the church bell ringer in 1749. The Old North Church can also be accessed by the Haymarket (Green and Orange Lines) Station.</span>

USS Constitution</span>
<br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">The USS Constitution set sail in 1797 and is now the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world. The Constitution is also known as “Old Ironsides,” after earning the name in the War of 1812 when cannon balls would skim off the ship’s thick hull.

Beacon Hill
<br /></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Beacon Hill is located just behind the Boston Common and the Public Garden. It is a small historic area known distinctly by its architecture, and is full of lavish mansions. It lies partly on where the Charles River was filled in. Much of the area was developed by rich families and proprietors like Charles Bulfinch. One of the most popular tourist destinations on Beacon Hill is the Cheers Bar. Beacon Hill can be accessed by the Park Street (Red, Green, and Orange Lines) Station.</span>

State House</span>
<br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Known as the ‘New’ State House, the Massachusetts State House was built in 1798 on top of Beacon Hill. Charles Bulfinch designed the building for the land that Massachusetts’ first elected governor, John Hancock, once owned. The unmistakable dome is plated in 23 karat gold, layered on top of wood and copper. The State House contains the Massachusetts General Court, as well as the Governor of Massachusetts. A hundred years after it was originally constructed, additions were made onto each side of the building. The State House can be reached by the Park Street (Red, Green, and Orange Lines) Station.</span>

For the past few weeks, I've been working on a story and multimedia piece on <a href="http://www.southbostonlittleleague.com/">South Boston's Little League</a>. I covered one game on opening day at Moakley Park. This particular game was between the Thomas C. Foley Red Sox and the Fire Fighters Cardinals. It was an absolute blast; the parents were eager to talk about their adorable kids, and the adorable kids were happy to be playing despite the fact that it was freezing and a bit rainy.<br /><br />My favorite part of the day? A toss up between a heavily bundled mom who sat down for five minutes and then declared (during warmups), "I've seen enough, it's cold. I'll be in the car," and the Red Sox catcher who (also during warmups) asked his pitcher, "Have you noticed that these cups don't really work?"<br /><br />Both the print story and the multimedia can be found <a href="http://bostonbeats.wordpress.com/">here</a>, but more specifically here: click for <a href="http://bostonbeats.wordpress.com/2009/04/29/south-boston-little-league-sticks-to-fundamentals-during-changing-times/">print</a>, or for <a href="http://bostonbeats.wordpress.com/2009/05/04/opening-day-at-the-park/">multimedia</a>.<br /><br />Make sure to let me know how I did! :)Chelseahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01524356232304897340noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-896485494223657857.post-8782972981461359742009-05-03T01:37:00.003-04:002009-05-03T01:41:50.578-04:00the kitschnettesOkay, so I know I've been slacking again. And badly, at that. But if you'd like to check out an area where I actually have been writing, head over to my new blog, <a href="http://www.thekitschnettes.blogspot.com/">The Kitschnettes</a>. I started it with my current roommate, Celeste. We're planning on writing on all sorts of things from crafty projects, to recipe reviews, and how-tos. We designed it ourselves, and after slaving away at the html template for several nights, we think it's pretty adorable. Check it out and don't hesitate to comment! :)<br /><br />You can also follow The Kitschnettes on <a href="http://www.twitter.com/thekitschnettes">Twitter</a> and email us at the.kitschnettes@gmail.com.

Though, I'm not really sure who's reading this. Anyway, my next post is in the works and should be up in a week (or less!) In the mean time, I thought I'd share some poetry. Let me know what you think! :)<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">covenant in cinnamon twigs.</span><br /><br />i am a phoenix.<br /><br />my eyes, red-rimmed and<br />set aflame, only hinted at<br />my body’s temperature.<br />i was on fire.<br /><br />after we had felt the water<br />rushing, flowing, changing--<br />defining boundaries and<br />borders with bed linens,<br />cooling the beat in my veins,<br /><br />after we had felt the water<br />my kindled feathers crumbled,<br />nestling me within my own<br />ashes, knee-deep within<br />my own reincarnation.<br /><br />our eyes burned shut-sealed<br />with (un)sweet dreams,<br />and our mouths crusted open in<br />unfulfilled, unfaltering expectation.<br /><br />but your lips dried the water and<br />melted my bed of ashes and<br />fueled the fire that bled into my<br />fingertips--<br />you set a match within me.<br /><br />i am traveling heavy with desire.<br />i am a phoenix.Chelseahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01524356232304897340noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-896485494223657857.post-65063323500895620052009-03-04T08:56:00.002-05:002009-03-04T09:26:28.888-05:00trade deadline.I don't know about all of you, but until 3:00 pm today, I'm going to be checking and rechecking and rechecking my blog list approximately every five minutes. Thanks for the extra anxiety during midterms, NHL trade deadline. I appreciate it. Anyway, I thought that I would take the chance to showcase a few of the blogs that I read almost every day and will be constantly refreshing during work/class today. (These blogs are also listed at the bottom right of my page, along with other non-hockey blogs.)<br /><br />1. <strong><a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/puck_daddy">Puck Daddy</a></strong> is a Yahoo! Sports Blog that I absolutely love. Today they've promised to update every hour, so hopefully they keep that up.<br />2. I came across <a href="http://www.broadstreethockey.com/"><strong>Broad Street Hockey</strong></a> just last week, and it quickly made its way into my daily blog reading. It's comprehensive, colorful, and informed.<br />3. If you need a good laugh, head over to <strong><a href="http://flyers07-08.blogspot.com/">Flyers Goal Scored By...</a></strong> I've been reading it since last year and it never fails to crack a smile.<br />4. <strong><a href="http://the700level.com/">The 700 Level</a></strong> is a Philadelphia sports blog that covers the Flyers, Phillies, Eagles, Sixers, and anything else they'd like. It's a well-done blog that I have to admit, I read more when the Phillies and Flyers seasons overlap.<br />5. She doesn't update quite as often as some of the other blogs (usually once every couple days) but <strong><a href="http://flyerfemme.blogspot.com/">Flyers Femme</a></strong> brings a female perspective to hockey. No, this blog isn't about how cute all of the players are. If you're not a Flyers fan but still want that female perspective, head over to <strong><a href="http://hlog.blogspot.com/">hlog {Hockey's Ladies of Greatness}</a></strong> and find a blog following your team.<br />6. <strong><a href="http://flyers.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=NHLPage&id=18891">On The Fly</a></strong>, the official Philadelphia Flyers PR blog, is updated almost daily and usually always on game days.<br />7. I know this isn't a blog, but I love the <strong><a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/teams/phi">Philadelphia Flyers page</a></strong> on Yahoo! Sports. It compiles news, features a team report almost daily, and keeps track of all the stats a girl could want.<br /><br />Many of these blogs are also on Twitter (and so am I, since about midnight last night), so that you can follow them even closer.

I hate that people say that this new artist sounds like someone plus so and so with a hint of that person from twenty years ago. I hate when they breakdown every single track and label it as sensational or a deviation from their earlier stuff. If the music is good, it's good. And that's all there is to it, in my eyes.<br /><br />That said, I gave <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.amazon.com/Dark-Was-Night-Various-Artists/dp/B001KVW574/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1235625725&sr=8-1">this compilation</a> a shot because I recognized some of my favorite names on the track list, and I wasn't disappointed. <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.darkwasthenight.com/">Dark Was the Night</a>, a two disc, thirty-one track compilation produced by Aaron and Bryce Dessner of The National, was released on February 17th. Its executive producer was John Carlin, founder of the Red Hot Organization. This organization has been producing albums for the sole purpose of raising funds and awareness for HIV and AIDS for twenty years. According to <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hot_Organization">Wikipedia</a>, they have donated more than seven million dollars so far.<br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Was_The_Night"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Dark Was the Night</span></a> is their latest compilation and features the following artists and many more: Sufjan Stevens, Feist, Bon Iver, Ben Gibbard, Iron & Wine, Cat Power, and Conor Oberst. If you'd like a preview, I got a snazzy little widget on the side with three of my favorites. Hopefully you'll like it as much as I do, and contribute to this worthwhile cause.

I tried to refrain from the latter, seeing as it was a bit crazy, but I was still amazed at the strength of the emotions that I felt. Written by Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close is a book that if nothing else, will make you feel. You will feel happiness, triumph, depression, frustration, and heartache. You will cry. You will need someone near you to hug the moment that you finish.
