… But, it was taken this week. When you visit Beacon Hill, remember there is more to this historic district of Boston than the wonderful shops on Charles Street. Explore the side streets and you'll find wonderful architecture, some great small businesses, and endless photo opportunities.

We have a double Friday Link, today. First is The Garden Club of the Back Bay's blog that keeps us informed about wonderful programs, events, and exhibitions.
"Early Spring: Henry Thoreau and Climate Change, a ground-breaking exhibition at the Concord Museum from April 12 through September 15, 2013, explores three centuries of careful observation of seasonal natural phenomena in Concord, a pool of data on the relationship between climate and biology that is essentially without parallel in North America. The exhibition also provides an extraordinary opportunity to examine the Concord Museum’s renowned Thoreau collection that includes the desk on which Thoreau wrote Walden, together with examples of his original field notes, journal recordings, seasonal charts, and botanical specimens. This material has never before been exhibited together."
In additon to putting a visit to this exhibition on your calendar, there are links to ways that you can become part of this ongoing examination of climate change on the exhibition page.

We're already out taste testing the new additions to the Boston Food Truck scene. Last Thursday, we tried the Cod Squad Truck from Captain Marden's Seafood. Their haddock sandwich was a hit! We'll do a full report once we've tasted a few more items.
Keep an eye on the Cod Squad Truck specials board. We had a fun Twitter conversation with the truck crew this week. If you see "Penny's Special," it will be their version of Rhode Island style clam chowder and clam cakes.
Either Rhode Island Chowder should qualify for the trucks healthy option. The clam cakes will have to count as your weekly cheat if you're watching what you eat.
Once the season gets rolling, this spot on Belvidere Street (map) near the Christian Science fountain should be a destination with up to 4 trucks at a time, convenient seating, and the entertainment of watching people play with the fountain. (More fountain fun at Water Attracts)
Update 04.09.13: Correction! There will be 3 trucks at Belvidere Street. It is site #4 not 4 trucks. Thanks to Steven from Hub Food Trucks for explaining that #4 on the city's schedule to me!

From this angle, it looks like this building on St. James Avenue has a built in crane. Ed captured this photo of new trees being planted along the sidewalk. He was equally attracted by the wonderful layers of architecture from this spot outside Bacco's Wine & Cheese and the new Bacco's Fine Foods.
In reality, the crane or cherry picker was tucked into an alley alongside the building. Some buildings, like the Hancock Tower, do have built in trollies to lower window washers.
