Boston: An Unlikely Icon
London has the Big Ben. Paris has the Eiffel Tower. Boston has the CITGO sign.But in 1983, Beantown was in danger of losing its unlikely icon, New England's largest sign. Because it was deteriorating, CITGO decided to dismantle the 60 by 60-foot structure. But Bostonians wouldn't have it! A group of passionate people stopped the demolition crew, claiming that the neon sign is a work of urban art and should be saved. They had their way.
Today, the CITGO sign stands refurbished, lighting Kenmore Square, Fenway Park and Boston's skyline with LEDs.

Cape Cod: the Kennedy Compound
These clapboarded buildings may look like typical Cape Cod vacation homes:
But they're far from ordinary!
And if they look familiar it's because, for one, John F. Kennedy used this six-acre property as the base for his Presidential campaign. And until his assassination in 1963, as President of the United States, he retreated here from the White House.
This is Cape Cod's picture perfect Kennedy Compound, home to America's royal (and not to mention ill-fated) family.
Joseph Kennedy and sons John and Robert lived in the compound before their untimely deaths. Today, Ted lives in this house:
It was Joseph's and is the largest on the property. Ethel, Robert's widow, still lives in their cottage.
