Deborah Sampson became a hero of the American Revolution when she disguised herself as a man and joined the Patriot forces. She was the only woman to earn a full military pension for participation in the Revolutionary army. Born on December 17, 1760 in Plympton, Massachusetts near Plymouth, Sampson was one of seven children to Jonathan Sampson Jr. and Deborah (Bradford) Sampson. At age 18 she worked as a teacher during summer sessions in 1779 and 1780 and as a weaver in winter. In 1782, as the Revolutionary War raged on, the patriotic Sampson disguised herself as a man named Robert Shurtleff and joined the Fourth Massachusetts Regiment. At West Point, New York, she was assigned to Captain George Webb's Company of Light Infantry. She was given the dangerous task of scouting neutral territory to assess British buildup of men and materiel in Manhattan, which General George Washington contemplated attacking. In June of 1782, Sampson and two sergeants led about 30 infantrymen on an expedition that ended with a confrontation--often one-on-one--with Tories. She led a raid on a Tory home that resulted in the capture of 15 men. At the siege of Yorktown she dug trenches, helped storm a British redoubt, and endured canon fire. For over two years, Sampson's true sex had escaped detection despite close calls. When she received a gash in her forehead from a sword and was shot in her left thigh, she extracted the pistol ball herself. She was ultimately discovered--a year and a half into her service--in Philadelphia, when she became ill during an epidemic, was taken to a hospital, and lost consciousness. Receiving an honorable discharge on October 23, 1783, Sampson returned to Massachusetts. On April 7, 1785 she married Benjamin Gannet from Sharon, and they had three children, Earl, Mary, and Patience. She received a military pension from the state of Massachusetts. Although Sampson's life after the army was mostly typical of a farmer's wife, in 1802 she began a year-long lecture tour about her experiences--the first woman in America to do so--sometimes dressing in full military regalia. A true hero and a story I've never heard before. [Review 15255 overall, 757 of 2021, number 1114 in Massachusetts.]

Roslindale Village got one of the first Boston parklet installations. Parklets are interesting city…read moreinstallations designed to create more outdoor and social spaces. They are usually constructed within 1-2 city street parking spaces. Popular in other urban areas, Boston is slowly rolling them out here. The parklet is actually at the intersection of Cohasset & Corinth right in the Village. The install seems to be a big success. It's rare to see it empty when walking by - there is almost always someone or a small group hanging out there. Fornax Bakery takes good care of it and someone always keeps the doggie water bowl topped up.

The CITGO Sign sits above Kenmore Square in Boston and has been part of the city's skyline long…read moreenough that it has crossed from commercial signage into something closer to a civic landmark. We approached from the bridge and looked out toward the upper decks of Fenway Park, and the sign simply became part of the visual geography of that part of the city in a way that few pieces of advertising ever manage. The sign is a large triangular structure with an illuminated CITGO logo that cycles through colors at night. Seeing it after dark is considerably more impressive than during the day. The nighttime version, with the lights shifting against the surrounding urban skyline, is what earns the sign its reputation as a photograph worth taking rather than just a thing we pass on the way to the ballpark. The connection to Fenway Park and Red Sox baseball is part of what has embedded the sign in the local consciousness. It is visible from the outfield seats and certain sections of the park, and when the Red Sox hit a home run the sign has historically lit up in response. That gives it a participatory function within the game experience rather than just a passive presence on the skyline. For a piece of Boston iconography that costs nothing to see and requires no planning, the CITGO Sign is a quiet landmark that rewards a moment of attention, especially after dark when the city lights come alive. It is not a destination on its own, but it is a meaningful part of the Kenmore Square experience and worth a glance whenever you are in the area.

The city of Brockton is a cute town just outside the Boston suburbs that is able to somehow pass off as a village despite being close to Boston. I like it here and I like visiting here, even though traffic can sometimes have annoying back-ups and low speed limits. One of my favourite bagel shops is here and I've tried a lot of other food in the town and some of its really good. I'm sure I'll be back here again in this rainy wooded area south of the beautiful city of Boston.

While it may not be nearly the most aesthetically pleasing city, it has a lot of benefits including tons of warehouses, businesses, and retail stores. While others don't really care for it, I find the Westgate Mall to be a great attraction, especially for the days I feel like going discount shopping. So many discount stores throughout the city to...... Very convenient to get to all of the places you intend to go to without having to go to multiple different towns to get everywhere. WB Mason is also a superb attraction in Brockton, and I suggest it highly. Literally the best warehouse ever... and the main reason I make the thirty minute drive to Brockton once a month. Schools aren't great and I wouldn't suggest Brockton if you are looking for outstanding schools, however there are some private schools around (such in Easton...), as well as a few charter schools to. Department of Public Works is also completely lacking here. Any "main" streets throughout the city are in pretty good condition, but all of the neighborhood like streets are full of potholes, and in desperate need of repaving. Street signs also lack, and since I'm not from the area, I don't always know exactly where I'm going..... many streets don't have a sign and the majority that do have tiny, old signs that have been replaced to the newer kind (that are reflective and BOLD) like every other town in Massachusetts have. Pretty convenient outside of Boston (about 40 minutes..... at most), and a good place to live if you're looking for somewhere cheap. Just make sure to move into a good area...... some areas are quite detestable and others are just not a happy mean of living. Overall, 3 stars. It's ok, but it's not nearly as desirable (to me, at least) to other towns in the area (or where I live......)
