I was able to snag a Wicked tin and cup at no extra charge, which I honestly thought were cooler than the ones at larger chain theaters--and they offer free refills! The theater itself was very comfortable and nearly packed. The seats are large, plush recliners, though the space to pass by other guests is quite tight, making bathroom trips a bit challenging. Speaking of bathrooms, they're located upstairs and were freezing for some reason. Most of the women's stalls were also marked out of order, which was inconvenient. They seemingly have an issue with the heat as one of the theaters had no heat inside so they were offering refunds. Overall, this theater is really cute and has a lot of charm, but it could definitely use some renovations. That said, I'd still love to come back!

The same architect who designed the Zakim Bridge has constructed a mini version of that bridge just for us. This is one of the Secret Hidden Gems of America that most people have never heard of or been to before. It is called The Christina & John Markey Memorial Pedestrian Bridge located in Revere MA. It is part of the Revere Transit Facility & The Streetscape Project. The west end of the bridge connects a bunch of different things together. It includes the Wonderland rapid transit, a bus station & parking garage with nearby housing units & an elevated Plaza with restaurants. Walk along the bridge over Ocean Ave & at the east end you will find yourself at a stone plaza right next to Revere Beach. Revere Beach is a historic beach because it is America's first public beach established in 1896. The Markey Bridge for short is a 151 foot long, 12 feet wide pedestrian bridge that Towers 52 feet above Ocean Avenue. The Markey Bridge is futuristic in design & looks like the strings of a Giant Harp. The bridge is illuminated at night by LED colored lights visible from The Boulevard & the sea. The iconic design was created by world renowned architect, Miguel Rosales. The final design and construction was led by the contractors Suffolk Construction Company. They used the Hot Dip galvanizing process. It was selected because of the extreme weather conditions of the 4 seasons & the salt air. This process provides good corrosion protection & good esthetic looks. The Markey Bridge is a single span cable stayed bridge; & is beautiful both day & night. The Bridge is named after Massachusetts representative Ed Markey's late parents. Markey was partially responsible for securing the bridge's funding. Some citizens have complained about the name of the bridge because Markey & his parents were never Revere residents. To make your trip worthwhile take a nice casual stroll along the beach & then head on over to the West end of the Bridge. There is a really good restaurant called Dryft. You can read my review for that too. Well Happy Travels & This is yet another FREEBIE! It used to be, you had to have Mega Bucks & be really Rich to have the Good Life, not anymore.

The Prospect Hill Monument is a stone structure in the shape of a mini Castle & is located in Somerville, Massachusetts just outside of Boston. This is a residential area with homes. It is also a historic site & provides panoramic views of Boston & surrounding cities. There is also a small park in this neighborhood here with green grass, park benches & a good spot for picnicking & relaxing. It's great place to visit Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall with a changing natural New England landscape. BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU PARK OTHERWISE YOU MAY GET A TICKET. Park only at the signs where it says it's OK to Park; it's a residential area. You can also visit here by Mass Transit too. This site is only a few blocks away & up the hill from the bustling heart of Union Square. There are a lot of local businesses & eateries there. The medieval fortress tower was constructed out of stone & steel. It was built in 1903 to commemorate the site's military importance during the Revolutionary & Civil Wars. The Tower stands 4 stories tall. Climb the stairs to the the first outdoor open deck, & you'll see great views of Boston, Somerville, & Cambridge. The inside of the tower & top were open pre-pandemic periodically at various times. Check the website for current info & updates. Be sure to go all around the tower on the ground level. There are plaques with lots of detailed info all around the tower. Also check out all the signs throughout the Park telling you even more info about this spot & how it was instrumental in uniting the colonies. On January 1, 1776, General George Washington himself who would later become the first President of the United States, during the Revolutionary War hoisted the very first national flag of America on this very spot. It was called the Grand Union Flag & predates The Famous Betsy Ross Flag. Our current red & white Stripes with 50 Stars flag is not flown here. Lots of people miss this. Zoom in with your camera & you will see the First Flag of America. The Grand Union Flag is still flown here on top of the tower. It has red & white stripes but with the blue British Union Jack in the corner instead of the Stars. It's Pretty Cool that they still fly our very first national flag here. To make it worth your trip be sure to visit the extremely popular Union Square Donuts which has Great Donuts & is only a few blocks away.
