New in Boston*: The Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway
Posted by: Budget Travel, Tuesday, Oct 21, 2008, 10:47 AM
For the past 15 years, a trip to Beantown has meant maneuvering around the Big Dig: the massive public-works project that replaced the city's elevated highway with tunnels. With the Dig
finally finished, people can now stroll where they once sat in traffic. The new Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway (
rosekennedygreenway.org) is a mile-long park that follows the path of the former highway all the way to the Charles River.

WHY? Why is this named after her? I can think of many other folks who were real public servants and are truly deserving of this honor. Get the Kennedy's out of your head Boston. Stop letting them push you around. Their time was over long ago.
