Growing up in Quincy, which in certain parts looks out to Boston, I always had a view of Boston, but never had much time to go into the big city and explore it for myself. From our beach in Quincy, you could see the Prudential, The JFK Library, and the rest of the Boston skyline. With this lingering question of, “What is near that building that is so important?” when I was of age to leave the house on my own I went into Boston to find out more about the city I only had a view of. I learned quickly that the T was always crowded, the streets were always windy, and your view was always changing. One thing stayed consistent, however. I always knew what side of the Prudential I should be seeing in relation to the buildings around it. This was how I always knew I was in familiar territory so I could eventually get home.
