While in NYC there are bricked streets known as “Belgian blocks” cobblestones are uneven rocks and stones used as paving.
In Boston and Philly there are still a few real cobblestoned streets around. USA Today also ranked Acorn Street on their list of 10 Most Beautiful Alleys in the World, last year. Plus, it’s only a few minutes away from the lush Boston Public Garden. Like most other municipalities outside NYC, infrastructural anomalies are preserved for the most part here in NYC, they are eliminated quickly as soon as they are found. Acorn Street is one of the most photographed in the whole cityperhaps because it’s a stylish rendition of Colonial Boston. I haven’t had the money or the time to return, though between 19, I would go to Boston on an average of every other year. I still have a backlog of hundreds of photos from my last visit which was shockingly in 2006. Now and then, when I remember and have the time, I bring over some of the photos and text from that old site to my Forgotten Boston category here in FNY.
In 2005, I began an initiative called Forgotten Boston with the aid of firefighter and Boston resident Sean Colby, in hopes that I could develop a sister site to Forgotten NY, but I was unable to pull it off. I wish I could do more traveling than I do.
