Boston Red Sox and the Museum of Fine Arts both are located in the Fenway area. I have called this neighborhood home since I moved to Boston.
Fenway Park is Red Sox's home stadium. It is the oldest ballpark in MLB. Fenway has hosted the World Series ten times, with the Red Sox winning five of them so far. The first, in the park's inaugural season, was the 1912 World Series and the most recent was the 2013 World Series.
The section of Boylston street adjacent to the south side of the stadium, has seen several modern high-rises built up during the last 5 years or so; Boutique furniture stores, fancy restaurants and Cafes like Starbucks moved in; The area has been transformed into a booming and fashionable location.
Walking across Boylston street, along Jersey street for 3 blocks, is the pride and gem of our neighborhood: the Clemente Field, named in honor of the legendary Hall of Fame baseball player and humanitarian, Roberto Clemente. It's a green, synthetic turf, three-lane, rubberized, all-weather, Olympic-size track and field, with stadium-lighting system, accommodating softball, baseball, soccer, gym and various track and field activities for local schools, collages and the public.
The two basketball courts adjacent to the field are where I practice the daily exercise routines in the morning with my Tai Chi friends from Boston, Cambridge, Chelsea, Dorchester, Somerville, Newton, New Hampshire, New York, Missouri, California, Guatemala, India, Russia, Japan and China.
This is a particularly good Feng Shui spot, with water (the Muddy river) flowing nearby, perfect for boosting health and well-being.
Across the Clemente Field is the Muddy river. There is a big population of Canadian Gooses and ducks around the river and the meadows. Every spring, the parades of the goslings and ducklings and their parents have always been the most adorable scenes to behold. Big fishes and turtles also live in the river.
A little bridge on the river, something right out of a Monet painting, leads to the back entrance to the Museum, the fourth largest museum in the United States, housing a large collection of Egyptian artifacts and French impressionist paintings, Monet's works among them.
One benefit of living so close to the museum is I can visit the Museum for free every Wednesday from 4 PM, so that I could view and appreciate the exhibitions at a more relaxed pace.
My apartment is at Park drive, on the top floor of a building directly facing the Clemente Field, with a panoramic view of the muddy river, the Rose garden, the Clemente Field, the back entrance to the museum, and most of all, the spectacular seasonal scenes of the Nature: Spring blossom, Fall foliage and Winter snow.
The Zan Japanese garden is right across the river via the little iron bridge.
