Back Bay: St. Boltoph Street

  • St. Boltoph Street - Boston
    St. Boltoph Street

    St. Boltoph Street rather defies definition. It is not part of the unique street grids of either the South End or of the Back Bay, but runs parallel to hyperbolic Huntington Avenue. It is technically in the Back Bay, as the resident parking signs indicate, but conveys a feeling of general Bostoniana incapable of achievement anywhere else in the city. This, perhaps, is why St. Boltoph is one of the city's most consistently praised out-of-the-way locations- its anonymity but also its grace- a consistent wall of bulbously whimsical Victorian apartment houses providing a hushed alternative to the traffic-thronged and skyscraper-lined Huntington.

    If you have enough time go even on the prudential tower or on the john hancock tower. Both are very high and you have a huge sight all over Boston and Cambridge.

    This is the christian science center, It's a really nice place to visit, it's near the Prudential. It is near Northeaster U. where I went to school. I used to go there and read or whatever. There is a neat reflection pond there and sprinklers on one end. I used to go for a run and then finish up there and run through them. :)
