How do you say 'market' in Bostonian?


RV campgrounds are non-existent near Boston, so we stayed at a Harvest Host outside the city and took the delightful Hingham Ferry past Nut and Spectacle Islands to Long Wharf in downtown Boston. Rather than jumping on one of the funny Duck Tour busses, we opted to do a DIY walking tour of Boston, some of the more prominent sites in the city, including the Granary Burying Ground (where Paul Revere is buried), the Boston Common, Paul Revere's House, the Old State House, and Quincy Market.

Display at Quincy Market - makes me hungry!

One of the unique brass bricks in Winthrop Lane
The city installed them as a way to memorialize some of
Boston's most important events
This one is a dig at aggressive Boston drivers!


By the way, Bostonians say maahket, not market. I just love that accent!
