Fun Local Trivia
  1. Boston is a city of firsts. Boston's subway system was the nation's first, built in 1897.
  2. The BU Bridge on Commonwealth Avenue is the only place in the world where a boat can sail under a train, that's driving under a car, which is passing a pedestrian, as an airplane passes overhead.
  3. The Boston Common became the nation's first public park in 1634.
  4. The 1903 Boston Red Sox were the first team to win the World Series.
  5. Breathe easy. It's estimated that Boston's Big Dig (the underground highway project) will reduce Boston's carbon monoxide levels by 12 percent.
  6. Boston goes wild about St. Patrick's Day. Areas like South Boston and Cambridge celebrate for the whole week. Green beer is the drink of choice.
