Franklin Park Zoo

Spread over an area of 72 acres, Franklin Zoo was founded in 1911. Franklin Zoo is a home to a number of animals like hippos, leopards, gorillas and a variety of birds. Catch glimpses of all these creatures performing their natural actions in Franklin Zoo in Boston.

Beacon Hill

Beacon Hill has traditionally been the home of Boston's upper class or well to do community known locally as "Brahmin." As well, on the more modest north side of the hill, African Americans have lived here since the early 19th century. Many of the houses here are three or four-story brick brownstones in the Federal style. The streets and sidewalks are often made of brick and lend to its English-style atmosphere. The neighborhood is roughly bordered by Cambridge Street in the north, Tremont Street in the east, Boylston Street in the south and the Esplanade in the west.

North End

The North End area of Boston has been populated since at least the 1630's. Throughout its history it has been home to early settlers, freed black slaves, Irish and Jewish immigrants and today, a large Southern Italian community. The John Fitzgerald Expressway cuts it off from the rest of the city and thereby many neighborhood customs have been preserved. It is an especially vibrant spot on saint's feast days when parades and processions make their way up the main thoroughfares Hanover and Salem Streets.
