Let the Russkie gal tell 'ya. We were more into the Heinz-57 pickle pins. Brought a ton home for the friends (not Quakers or Shakers). Remember Sybil Ludington? That was the gal who passed it on in Danbury, CT at the library. The vibrations from bell ringing are still circling the universe. It is finite.

Historical & Epic building with a nice statue of Benjamin Franklin. This is a really nice location and must see site. You can walk obviously to all the place on the Boston Freedom Trail. Th is stop number 6 and is well worth it!

While walking the Freedom Trial, you'll no doubt pass Boston's Old City Hall. This towering building was constructed around 1865, and features a statue of Benjamin Franklin out front. The outside is shaded by tall trees and very photogenic. History buffs will definitely want to stop and take out their cameras, read the inscriptions on the statues, and enjoy the moment.

The outside is still has the original stonework, statues and courtyard. Unfortunately the inside is being renovated and losing much of it's original character. A little sad.

The whole white housing with the statue of Franklin and Donkey/Elephant steps. Strongly recommend visitors to take a look here!! In front of this City Hall, you will find Latin School Mark on the street.

Beautiful experience in Boston. Thought it was weird this place as a steakhouse in it now. But definitely worth a stop for some great pictures.
