New England Sea Ports

This month, I attended the national conference of the American Planning Association in Boston. On the day before the conference, Tom and Joan took me on a tour of several seaport towns, including Gloucester, Newbury Port, and Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The combination of history and commercial liveliness, even in the off-season, was wonderful. The residents have preserved their architecture and enhanced their downtowns in a very successful manner.
