Lexington, MA; pretty close to Boston Bob's shop in Wayland.
  Lots of awesome historic stuff around here....
You just missed a civil war re-enactment here, they do it every year around
the first week in October..... it's practically in my backyard.  The cannon
fire scares me every year, until I remember what it is.
