Footpaths of Boston

There are many historic footpaths of Boston. You can walk in the footsteps of the pioneers, or of the American Revolution and of the Boston Tea Party.

However, when it comes to accessing the Boston subway system the footpaths become snowpaths. When crossing a major street, you must place one foot in front of the other to get over the curb and onto the sidewalk. Children are instructed at an early age to maintain an upright posture in order to perform the delicate pigeon toed walk. Visitors are easily identified, as they have their arms outstretched as if they were walking on a tight rope. Watching visitors fall is a source of amusement for the long winter months.
