First stop Boston.

Dear Boston,

We like you but...
We have developed some opinions about your "residential" parking situation.
And we have a bone to pick with the local bikers,

Thanks for letting us crash.

Love,
The Bandits.


The Mapparium.
The Mapparium is an enourmous inside-out globe, constructed between 1934 and 1935.
The Mapparium hasn't changed since 1935, While the relative size and positions of the countries are correct, the maps political boundaries are long out of date. 
Also, because of the shape of the oval sphere the room has a 360 degree surround sound. So when you talk in the middle of the room the sound echoes evenly, and is alarmingly loud. But, when standing on either side of the sphere, whispers from the other side of the room can be heard as if they were coming from close range. 



                                                                    The Arboretum,
Occupying 265 acres, the Arboretums living collection of trees, shrubs, and woody vines is recognized as one of the most comprehensive and best documented kind in the world.
Established in 1872, the Arnold Arboretum is a National Historic Landmark.
Founded as a public-private partnership between the City of Boston and Harvard University.
The Arboretum is a unique blend of respected research institution and beloved public park in
Bostons Emerald Necklace.
