Hi there. Today we're in the city of Boston in the state of Massachusetts. 00:00:00
This is a world-class city with a friendly, welcoming feel to it. 00:00:18
Fennell Hall Marketplace and Quincy Market in the heart of Boston are wonderful places to go shopping or to enjoy a meal with friends. 00:00:23
But this area also has great historic significance for Boston. 00:00:41
It was here that Boston's Sons of Liberty used to meet. 00:00:47
They are a group formed to challenge the harsh law and order forced on the colonies by Great 00:00:51
Britain, especially in the form of taxes. 00:00:56
This is a statue of Samuel Adams, one of America's founding fathers. 00:01:01
I'm here with Officer Pagan from the Boston Police Department to find out about law and 00:01:10
order here in Boston. 00:01:14
Can you tell us a little bit about the police force here in Boston? 00:01:16
Yes, the Boston Police Department was founded in 1854 with 250 officers. 00:01:19
We currently have 2,174 police officers sworn and 751 civilians, 00:01:25
and we are a national model for community policing. 00:01:33
What's the greatest part of your job? 00:01:37
The greatest part of the job is the community interaction, 00:01:39
being out in the community and being able to help someone. 00:01:43
And sometimes you have very bad days, and that one person that says thank you for doing your job makes the whole day better. 00:01:47
What are the most common problems you face trying to maintain law and order here in Boston? 00:01:55
The main problem is getting the community to understand that not all police officers are bad 00:01:59
and that we are here to do our job and take care of everyone in our community. 00:02:03
Do you have any special advice for visiting tourists? 00:02:07
I say come to Boston. 00:02:11
We are a historical city with a lot of stuff to do. 00:02:12
And we ask you that if you come to Boston, just vueltate bien. 00:02:17
Beacon Hill is the most affluent area of Boston. 00:02:25
This neighborhood is known for its elegant 19th century townhouses and narrow brick streets with working gas lamps. 00:02:28
The Swan boat ride on the water here has been running since 1877. 00:02:37
The two resident live swans, named Romeo and Juliet, are local celebrities. 00:02:42
At 240 meters, the John Hancock Tower is the tallest building in Boston. 00:02:49
Its glass design shows reflections of the different styles of architecture surrounding it. 00:02:56
Established in 1636, Harvard is the oldest university in the United States. 00:03:04
Its history, influence, and wealth have made it one of the most prestigious universities in the world. 00:03:09
Rowing is a sport often associated with Boston and Harvard. 00:03:15
I'm here with Dan at the Harry Parker Boathouse on the Charles River. 00:03:24
Dan, why is rowing so popular here? 00:03:28
Well, Boston is one of the meccas of rowing in the U.S., and there's a big tradition, a long tradition here in Boston. 00:03:31
We have the head of the Charles Regatta every year. It's the world's largest rowing event. 00:03:37
What's the hardest part to master? 00:03:41
master? The hardest part I think you'll find today is the balancing of the boat. 00:03:43
The boats can be very tippy and even if you're a strong athlete you first have 00:03:49
to learn how to balance the shells. Can we try it? Sure. Oh great. 00:03:53
I'll see you next time in Williamsburg, Virginia. 00:04:13
