If you're a Bostonian, this square is a slice of home.

I love wandering around these parts of our city and imagining all the stories
these rooftops could tell.
Stories about how things have changed,
and how they're still the same.

a roof for the rain,
tea beside the fire,
laughter to cheer you,
those you love near you
and all your heart might desire."
