Shipyard Park Phase 3, a $2 million project, will add a treelined promenade bordering the present Shipyard Park in the Charlestown section, where the historic USS Constitution is berthed. The project also includes development of a 300-foot-long dock that can accommodate water taxi service in Boston Harbor...
After hot, smelly, noisy Bangkok, full of pollution and sordid massage parlors, Rangoon looked like a blow-up of a nineteenth-century cameo. The last time we drove in a car was the taxi from the airport. First of all, they don't use lights at night--waste of energy.

...London underworld with as much force or power as other movies of its genre. The grimy teenage prostitutes are sad and pathetic, and the photography of Kings' Cross at night artistically blends darkness, sharp bright lights and soft tawdry neon colors, but the movie is missing the grittiness of Taxi Driver or harsher gangster films...
