rickbang - that was one of the few 'historical elements' I referred to in my note. Perhaps I should have been more specific. Quincy Market was once wonderful meat market and not a mall in the sense that we know them now. My apologies for falling in to the same loose usage as is common today.

Faneuil Hall is still a hall. You're thinking of Quincy Market. And, historically speaking, that area has always been a mall.

Please don't take this the wrong way but are you referring to Boston or Massachusetts as the "Cradle of Liberty"? That hasn't been the case for generations. Long before Faneuil Hall became a mall with a few historical elements preserved... "Those are our rights under the gun, whether we are gay or straight, and the Cradle of Liberty doesn't take such assaults lightly."
