Thanks all for the kind comments. Boston is a fascinating city, full of these types of tidbits. I was reminded recently that both Ho Chi Minh and Malcom X both worked at the Parker Hotel (not at the same time) — the same hotel that hosted Hawthorne, Emerson, Holmes and others at the Saturday Night Club.

Susan, Alexandra, and Mal, what are your favorite finds? I’m always on the lookout for new treasures. Along this line, stay tuned to Wandering Educators for my review of Boston’s Secret Spaces.

Also – thanks to Vera for hosting me once again. I always enjoy my time at the Bookshelf.

The next time I’m having the “Lazy Man’s Lobster” at the UOH I’ll have to poke around a little. Booth 18 please!

I lived in Boston for a year and did not know about the French king. Will plan to visit Union Oyster House. Thanks for the tip!

I’ve been to the Union Oyster House several times, but I never knew this fascinating historical tidbit.
