Like others, I'd like the original to reopen.

But if you're gushing like that over Boston, I'd love to see you visiting sites in Europe that date back way before there were any folks in Boston! ~Great Chinese food in Boston too!~

Did get some awesome Pizza in the North End, great Tex Mex in Faneuil Hall/Quincy Hall (Zuma! So good.) and we ate at Cheers. Also, Boston Cream Pie is amazing.

However, American History (The Revolution, more specifically, is my passion and my specialty, so seeing all this stuff resonated with me in a very big way. (And you thought I got weepy at Wishes.) I don't doubt that seeing some things in Europe would make me feel the same way. Especially Rome. And England. And Paris. And... LOL. >>>>~Lobstah roll~<<<< Question....Why the &%*$I are those so expensive? That's the only thing we didn't try, seeing they were about 15 bucks for ONE. Didn't look that good, either...but I',m not a Seafood guy.

LOL.<<< Ah, but getting the other take on it, seeing the Highland Battlefields of Scotland where it trained the Red Coat officers on the campaigns in the new world, seeing Fort George and Portsmouth where they deployed from, seeing where Columbus was given permission to start his expedition, seeing Magna Carta which inspired the declaration, these all add to your knowledge. And seeing how Spain, England, Holland, France, Germany, the Middle East and Asia shaped America is truly inspiring. Though it is like following the White Rabbit, taking the pill and leaving the Matrix.

It also shows the previous regime's hostility to PI regulars (particularly AdvClub regulars) has mellowed a bit. But I agree it doesn't mean the Club is reopening.
Originally Posted By EPCOT Explorer Agreed, SeventyOne. However, I was reffering to the great hope of the AC Reopening, which you, too, mentioned.
