The Dogtown Common features the Babson Boulders, off of Cherry Street. These boulders (about 3…read moredozen of them), have carved inspirational inscriptions that most people find it worthwhile to stop by for photo-ops. Parking is confusing, as while there's a sign for the Dogtown Common area, nothing is clearly marked or labeled for parking and for access points. You can only enter via walking, so appropriate clothing attire and shoes are highly recommended. It's definitely woody, so make sure you apply much insect repellent! The boulders are not near the entryway, and you do need to walk about 1.5/2 miles inland. I personally did not think it was worth a stop, but those who are in the Gloucester and have some time, may find it of interest. +carved inspirational messages on boulders

Awesome little island off of Boston - it seems to contain really cool range of habitats from a…read moremarsh to beaches to forest-y areas. The entire island is probably only a 20-30 minute walk long, and a good amount of it disappears during high tide. There's a lot to explore on the island and a good deal of flora and fauna, and there seems to be a multitude of seashells no matter where you are. The beaches are very rocky and the water tends to be very cold. We saw a large number of birds and reptiles, but there doesn't seem to be any mammals on the island other than small rodents. There are many campsites, from smaller clearings to very large openings that could fit a large event like a wedding. There're quite a few picnic tables and benches as well, but no garbage cans or the like. Walking on the island can be a bit of a pain - there are shells and rocks everywhere, and some of the paths get very hilly and slippery, especially if it's rained recently. Lovells is definitely a camping/hiking kind of island - there are no amenities/stores to be seen and I only saw one public restroom the entire time I was there. The Boston skyline is visible when the sky is clear, and the sunset over the ocean looks amazing.

When Bae is having an argument with someone, I always Back Bae in the argument, after all, she's the one I'll be home with later on. And I mean look at her. There are many neighbourhoods of Boston that I love and many that I have spent a lot of time in. One of my favorites is Back Bay which I was surprised to learn didn't used to be an actual neighbourhood. It was just a bunch of water that was filled in and turned into a fake makeshift brand new neighbourhood back in the 1800s or so. Well they did a great job with it, because now it's fancy and fun and filled with college students and wonderful stuff to do. It seems very livable too, despite traffic and awful parking. So like I said, they did a really excellent job with it. I come back here whenever I get the chance and I'm sure I'll be back here in future as well. Now my cat is writhing all over the place and begging to be petted, and he's way more fun than even Back Bay, so for this reason I'm going to head out and pet him some more. Make sure you come to Back Bay for food and for nightlife and for Boba because it's all here, and the Kung Fu Tea right here is the best of the Boba, while Boston Shawarma is one of the food highlights.

Located only a few miles…read morenorth of Boston you have a small town filled with side, roads woods, connecting with the Lynnwood's. And you're also streets away from Route one for all the hustle and bustle restaurants shopping at etc. The town hall is still very personable. You can walk in and to speak to anyone in any of the departments, the clerks office, etc.. most of the houses that are off the Main Street very quiet and surrounded by beautiful hundred foot trees. Pricing for homes is about average for being within 20 miles of Boston. However, the lot size is usually a bit larger here than in cities like Revere and Everett and Malden. One great thing about Saugus is that you can actually drink the tapwater as they have one of the best reservoirs in the state. Taxes are about average for the Northshore. I'm not familiar with the high school, but they built a brand new high school within the last decade which you can see driving up and down Route one looks quite large in modern. The Townhall must be 100 or 200 years old and has a lot of history as there's a few other buildings downtown. All in all I would assume that this would be a great place to raise children. This is just a guess. As whenever I go downtown to the post office to Townhall. Everyone is nice it seems like a great little town.
