I don't get to Boston and I used to love Bean Town. But, do you know that little garden by USM?
I think I know where that garden is, the one you mentioned. I believe it is across the street from the Law School. They have disrupted the traffic pattern there recently, with a roundabout there now. I wasn't certain that they left the tulip garden in place. I haven't been to that specific spot in a while, however.
