Commonwealth Avenue Mall



   Turn your back on the financial district in Boston.  Turn your back and walk the other way, through the Common, past the Frog Pond and the ball fields, all the way to Charles Street.  While you wait for the light to change, buy a bag of roasted nuts from the vendor on the sidewalk and then munch them as you stroll your way through the Public Gardens and on to the Commonwealth Avenue Mall.  What a wonderfully rhythmic name, the Commonwealth Avenue Mall.  And a rhythmic walk it is as well, moving west a block at a time, past the statues and benches and the city folks with all their little dogs.
