Really enjoyed you're article. I live outside Boston (North Central MA) once lived in Newton. Anyway although I've always thought Boston a beautiful city and with beautiful parks I didn't know Olmstead designed the green necklace. I have a new appreciation, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it - you could come visit Boston some time, you know. I don't know if this link will work. Anyway, Olmsted also did the Arnold Arboretum, in fact, he really had a lot to do with why Boston looks the way it does today (the Charles River and the Esplanade, etc.). (Not with the Government Center nonsense!) http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/846649/
