Boston, Massachusetts, Waterfront Welcomes Cool and Interactive Outdoor Space
Boston's waterfront isn't the one that we or our parents remember. Not that long ago in the '60s and '70s, it was a vast, industrial-looking space with just a couple of restaurants that seemed a little out of place (Jimmy's and Anthony's Pier 4) . The smoky bars seemed to fit in just fine, and they were filled with nefarious-looking people (not that I'm judging).

What was the 'first American novel'?
Critics have long debated which books qualify as a ‘Great American Novel.’ The discussion over the ‘First American Novel’ is relatively settled. Honors go to William Hill Brown's ‘The Power of Sympathy,’ a 1789 publication centered on a doomed New England love affair. Hill’s book is in many ways characteristic of the era, whether its epistolary format, its Anglicized prose, its unidentified author, or its pious message. But “The Power of Sympathy” also includes themes that reflected the aspirations and anxieties of a young country and still resonate now.
