On my way to work this morning I took a little detour and walked down Marlborough Street. For those who are not familiar with Boston, Marlborough Street is just stunning. I want to move here and never leave.
Here are some of sites on my way to work this morning
uneven brick sidewalks
pretty brass kickplates and urns with flowers in bloom
tiny details everywhere I looked

That was the end of the tour...off to work I went after this picture. It certainly was a lovely Summer morning here in Boston
Beautiful! I love Marlborough Street too. I had wedding photos taken in that area before the reception, and I LOVE them. I think I would need to hit the lottery to afford living there though. Thanks for all the great photos!
ReplyDeleteStunning.
ReplyDeleteThis speaks to my deep love of old rowhouses.
Thanks so much for sharing this!
Wait- are you able to walk to work? If so, that is fabulous! I am envious! I don't recall seeing this street before but I love it! This is totally my kind of area.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing!
Emmie- I take the T and then walk part of the way to my office- the closest T stop is a few blocks away. This morning I was early and took a detour down this pretty street to take some pictures because it was so nice out. Hopefully when the BF is done with grad school we can move around this area so I can walk to work- that will be really nice :)
ReplyDeleteWow! This mini tour brings back SUCH memories!
ReplyDeleteWhere were you when I was there? I really didn't have many friends at all. I found it was very hard to meet people so George and I were each other's best friends. :) He had some nerdy law school friends but that was the extent of our social circle!
Thanks for making me smile this morning. I needed it more than you know.
Kara move back and we can be friends!!! It would be so lovely to know another blogger that has similar interests :)
ReplyDeleteso pretty! yay for no rain
ReplyDeleteWow, it is amazing that such small spaces can look so great. Just goes to show what a little beauty can do. I am off to paint my front door black and get some flowers in my urns. xo, MB
ReplyDeleteJust lovely. Makes me want to come visit!
ReplyDeleteI would love to live on a street like that! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAh, I love it too. I lived on the corner of Marlbourough and Fairfield 20 years ago. Beautiful street, although I lived in a basement apartment and had a terrible rat problem! Nice to look back at the pretty side of it.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy beantown! Love your blog btw!

What fun to stumble across your blog! I am in Boston for a few weeks while my husband studies here. I just walked down the same street, but was too intimidated to snap pictures!! I love the ones you shared - they are beautiful! I swear, I wanted to photograph the same blue hydrangeas!! Thank you so much!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I love the blue door. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteNice...
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are having the time of day everytime you take a walk in there...entertaining and relaxing at the same time.
What a lovely walk Lindsay! Marlborough is one of my favorite streets as well :)
ReplyDeleteI have only had the pleasure of visiting Boston once and this was my favourite street, thanks for bringing back wonderful memories, loving the blue door and facade at no 80!
