Why Nelson Emmons chose East Boston

What makes this villa unique

Guestbook comments from the owner

Madeline and Nelson:



It certainly has been a whirlwind since we returned from Boston and I

apologize for the delay in getting this out to you.



Thank you very much for opening your home to all of us. We had a most

enjoyable time. Your home is comfortable and so lovely and charming. We

enjoyed every aspect of your house and we met some of your neighbours who

are equally as nice and as friendly.



Going back to Boston and the Cape was reliving my childhood and one that

was both refreshing and sad at the same time. Progress has certainly taken

over and a lot has changed.....thank goodness the character of the City and

the people have remained the same.....just as friendly and charming as ever.



I never thought the road to the Cape would ever be complete. When I was

growing up it was the worst road in the world. What a wonderful change

seeing the road complete. The ride we had was wonderful, no traffic and

smooth sailing all the way. The T has improved as well and we used it a

lot. Downtown Crossing has a new grocery store called Roche

Bros.....fantastic place. We shopped there quite a bit. Their produce was

amazing as was their Butcher Shop......the desserts, we could eat them but

preferred the North End for that....the walk justified all the Italian

pastry!



We cooked in two nights and had so much fun with that. I have always

wanted a gas cook top and finally had the chance to use one. We set the

smoke alarm off and you should have seen us. We didn't know if you were

hard wired to the Fire Hall......thank goodness you were not. We laughed

so hard we cried. Six grown adults fanning the smoke (very minimal, I was

doing a chicken stir fry and accidentally put in olive oil vs

peanut...olive oil does not like high heat) when we all decided to open the

windows......we are still laughing about that today. The Fire Department

did not come, the house is still standing, we had a good laugh and we had a

great dinner that night...all is well with the world.



Your paintings are spectacular, the decor was perfect, your neighbourhood

was so friendly and welcoming. The planes captivated us every night and

during breakfast every morning.....we miss them but did get educated in the

flight path of Logan International.



We managed to walk the entire Freedom Trail, tour Cambridge, go into Mass

General and the museum to visit my cousins, take in a game at Fenway and

tour all the Cape along with Plymouth. We walked about 10 miles a day
