Well, who was there first?Old Ironsides upscale Charlestown neighbors are trying to pull off what British, French and Barbary pirate guns failed to accomplish in more than two centuries - silencing the cannons of the nations oldest commissioned naval vessel.
Miffed residents of a posh condo complex have invited the commanding officer of the USS Constitution over for a glass of wine so he can hear for himself that the frigates twice-daily cannon blasts - a tradition dating to 1798 - are more disruptive to the neighborhood than you might have imagined.

I LOVE Boston! Weather wasn't lousy (snow in late winter/early spring and beautiful perfect weather in early fall), the traffic was fun (yay rotaries!!!!) and everywhere I went the people were some of the nicest I've ever met. No one was rude, ever. In fact, in the restaurants and pubs I went to people kept sitting down with me and just chatted away... even the waitresses LOL. The first place I went out to eat was in Cambridge on Mass AV... a little hole in the wall Italian place. The guys in the kitchen were screaming at each other in Italian; I was convinced they were going to kill each other. Then they'd start laughing and in the next breath start hollering again. The waitress was tottering around on these stilted high heels just plopped down next to me, kicked off her shoes, "My Gawd, my feet are killin' me! What can I get for ya?"I've only been to Boston once but I must say I was very taken with the city. I visited the USS Constitution (this was on my first visit to the US in 1984) and I was fascinated by the visit. When I found out that she was still commissioned and the personnel aboard were serving personnel in the United States Navy but wearing the uniform of the period I was stunned and delighted. The USS Constitution is a a treasure, a historical treasure of international significance. She must not be limited in her expression of her voice. Anyone privileged to live hear her location should count themselves damn lucky to be there.
lousy weather, rude people, terrible traffic.
i wouldn't trade it for anything.
c'mon back!
well, it IS boston.

Personally, I would not be against the USS Constitution turning the cannons on the whiners.
I'd recommend grapeshot![]()

Or people who complain about my ghetto blaster on the subway.Reminds me of people who move next to the airport then bitch about jet noise.![]()
I really wonder if it is yuppies complaining about the noise. Wouldn't they all mostly be at work when the blasts happen? My guess is it's a bunch of restless retired people who moved back to the city after living in the burbs.
