This location will now have double 'movie' relevance as it was the site of the movie, The Presidio, starring Sean Connery. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | Was in Boston some years ago, love Old ironsides. but the surface streets make you claustrophobic. Also saw Plymouth Pebble and discovered that the Northeast has this weird thing for Dunkin Donuts, there is one on nearly every corner. I remember driving in from Wooburn(spelling?) thinking we would find some place to eat breakfast on the way, not even so much as a McDonald's til we got to MIT, but there was Dunkin Donuts EVERYWHERE.

Skip I used to love Dunkin Donuts....until I discovered Krispy Kreme here in the south! No comparison! P.S. - it's Woburn (but pronounced Wooburn) | | | | Hal |

My second favorite city in the the U.S. (after Boston....sorry). Same sequence for me... I remember going to the (Hay?)market on Saturday mornings and eating fresh clams... Used to live near Boston for 6 months; Woburn being the town where one of the cinemas I frequented was at. I always thought those two cities were a natural choice for me, as they have the most European feel of the cities I have visited. | | | Achim [諾亞信； Ya-Shin//Nuo], a German in Taiwan.

Skip Boston has Dunkin Donuts, but Seattle has Starbucks on every block (as well as in Target, B&N, the hospital I work at). Plus there will be one or two other coffee houses on the same block. Too bad I don't like coffee, but love donuts. No Dunkin Donuts here, but we did get Krispy Kremes a few years ago. | | | Schultzy - http://www.michaelschultz.net

| | Posted: | | | | Having never been to Boston (I know, I know -- I gotta go), San Francisco is the City. After SF, I have most enjoyed New Orleans. I think all of these cities each enjoy a singular attitude to what makes a city great. No one mistakes Paris for Tokyo for San Francisco for New Orleans for Boston. Add London, Vienna, Barcelona, Rio, and a few others to join these cities in being uniquely their own, with nothing else to match their personalities. There are other fine cities, but each of these have a special impact on what everyone on Earth believes a great city can be. | | | If it wasn't for bad taste, I wouldn't have no taste at all.

I was in Philadelphia last month and noticed the Dunkin-Donuts-on-every-block thing. There was one restaurant in our hotel and no others within walking distance...except for about 5 Dunkin Donuts.
