So, You Think You Know the South Shore?
$14.95 – $21.00
Coming August 15, 2024!
The book lays out a significant base knowledge for each community on the South Shore of Boston that fronts on the Atlantic Ocean. It includes famous men and women who have made significant contributions to each community. A section entitled “Do You Know?” provides some lesser-known information that contributes to the distinctness and attractiveness of each town; some photographs that will test the reader’s knowledge of buildings and objects that are commonly seen but not necessarily recognized for what they are, and some trivia that tests some well-known and lesser-known facts.
The book ends with the “Treasures” of the South Shore. These are the institutions and places that make the South Shore a remarkable place to live and work and one that attracts millions of visitors. I have made these determinations myself and realize that others may have a different list, but that is ok. Some are cultural, some are natural, but each contributes to the quality of life that is available on the South Shore. The region and its people have something distinct and appealing to offer everyone.
