| View from Columbia Point |
I'm always searching for a good view of Boston and while I've been lucky to observe the city from a bird's eye view, I always come back to my favorite spot: Columbia Point in Dorchester (also home to the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum). The view is free and far enough away from the hustle and bustle of town plus you can enjoy the sea breezes off Dorchester Bay. The area is also part of the Boston Harborwalk where you can stroll the perimeter of the bay and eat lunch while sitting at one of the picnic tables. Feel free to take a peek at the public art sculptures across the street on the UMASS campus or take a look at President Kennedy's sailboat the Victura which is on display during the summer season. If you have an hour or two, explore the JFK Library and Museum. It's a $12.00 admission fee which is fairly inexpensive compared to some of the other museums in the city. The exhibits give an insightful perspective from that era. You'll leave feeling optimistic no matter which political affiliation you fall under. That you can count on.
