Boston Romantic Vacation

Sun, 04 Jun 2006 00:00:00 -0400

During your visit in Boston, you’ll often feel as you’ve turned back in time, while Boston is a thoroughly modern city. MAny places of the city remain unchanged: the narrow alleyways of the North End, the gas lit and cobblestone streets of Beacon Hill, the ducks waddling at your feet in the Public Garden -- its romantic side is just below the surface. Boston provides unlimited opportunities for a walk hand-in-hand with your lover. Add a romantic dinner for two with a spectacular view or a ride on a swan boat and you're well on your way to a Boston vacation teeming with romance. You have many options for relaxation in Boston: dancing at a concert at the Hatch Shell, picnics in the Public Garden, crossing the Charles River to Cambridge via Foot Bridge or window shopping on Newbury Street. There are many sweet places where you could spend the night in Boston that will make you feel like home. Beacon Hill Hotel (12 guest rooms) is as romantic and charming place as the neighborhood after which it's named. **End Summary** Topics: boston]]> vacations]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Well heres my story.

Supermarket Smart Cart

Wed, 31 May 2006 00:00:00 -0400

We 'check out' latest supermarket ‘smart’ cart. Phil Lempert (The Supermarket Guru) test-drives the Stop & Shop's "Shopping Buddy", a grocery chain’s attempt to eliminate the annoying check-out line. It’s a fact : most supermarket shoppers love going to the supermarket — finding new products, tasting free samples and finding bargains – spending money. But then it comes time to check out…. Having enjoyed the displays and the picking-out of items, they are then faced with the task of taking their selections, putting them on a conveyor and then putting them back in their cart. And, usually, of having to wait in line for such a dubious privilege. Yes, dealing with the supermarket check-out line — including the horror of having kids screaming for the candy “conveniently” placed there by profit-hungry conglomerates — is among the least popular chores, according to many surveys. And while many supermarkets have installed “self-checkout” lanes, only a third of consumers, according to a ACNielsen Homescan (the global leader in market research, information and analysis.) consumer panel of over 61,000 Americans, believe this kind of help-yourself method is no way near a solution. Plainly, supermarkets need to figure out better ways to check out. **End Summary** Topics: smart cart]]> supermarket]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> My name is Sly, I am from North Reading. http://thebostonnewsblog.com/
