The esplanade is a park that runs along the southern bank of the Charles River, which means that it also runs along the northern edge of Boston&#8217;s Back Bay neighborhood. The Back Bay is all landfill, and our forefathers saw fit to make a little island of landfill in the Charles River just so we could have an even more beautiful place to watch the sailboats, or take a refreshing after-work stroll to meet a friend. We joined a few thousand Bostonians at the Hatch Shell for a picnic and some great classical music, courtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.landmarksorchestra.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Boston Landmarks Orchestra<\/a>.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n<!-- relpost-thumb-wrapper --><div class=\"relpost-thumb-wrapper\"><!-- filter-class --><div class=\"relpost-thumb-container\"><h4>random related posts:<\/h4><div style=\"clear: both\"><\/div><div style=\"clear: both\"><\/div><!-- relpost-block-container --><div class=\"relpost-block-container relpost-block-column-layout\" style=\"--relposth-columns: 5;--relposth-columns_t: 4; --relposth-columns_m: 4\"><a href=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/2012\/08\/21\/the-view-over-breakfast\/\"class=\"relpost-block-single\" ><div class=\"relpost-custom-block-single\"><div class=\"relpost-block-single-image rpt-lazyload\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" data-bg=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/related-posts-thumbnails\/img\/default.png\" style=\"background: transparent no-repeat scroll 0% 0%; width: 100px; height: 100px; aspect-ratio: 1\/1;\"><\/div><div class=\"relpost-block-single-text\"  style=\"height: 70px;font-family: Arial;  font-size: 11px;  color: #4f0e21;\"><h2 class=\"relpost_card_title\">The view over breakfast<\/h2><div class=\"relpost_card_exerpt\">Finagle a Bagle is not exactly fine dining, but wh...<\/div><span class=\"rpth_list_date\">August 21, 2012<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/2013\/12\/13\/comm-ave-lights\/\"class=\"relpost-block-single\" ><div class=\"relpost-custom-block-single\"><div class=\"relpost-block-single-image rpt-lazyload\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" data-bg=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/related-posts-thumbnails\/img\/default.png\" style=\"background: transparent no-repeat scroll 0% 0%; width: 100px; height: 100px; aspect-ratio: 1\/1;\"><\/div><div class=\"relpost-block-single-text\"  style=\"height: 70px;font-family: Arial;  font-size: 11px;  color: #4f0e21;\"><h2 class=\"relpost_card_title\">Comm Ave Lights<\/h2><span class=\"rpth_list_date\">December 13, 2013<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/2012\/08\/24\/top-of-the-hub\/\"class=\"relpost-block-single\" ><div class=\"relpost-custom-block-single\"><div class=\"relpost-block-single-image rpt-lazyload\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" data-bg=\"https:\/\/beckydimattia.com\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/dsc02723-150x150.jpg\" style=\"background: transparent no-repeat scroll 0% 0%; width: 100px; height: 100px; aspect-ratio: 1\/1;\"><\/div><div class=\"relpost-block-single-text\"  style=\"height: 70px;font-family: Arial;  font-size: 11px;  color: #4f0e21;\"><h2 class=\"relpost_card_title\">Top of the Hub<\/h2><div class=\"relpost_card_exerpt\">To surprise my father for his 60th birthday, mom f...<\/div><span class=\"rpth_list_date\">August 24, 2012<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><!-- close relpost-block-container --><div style=\"clear: both\"><\/div><\/div><!-- close filter class --><\/div><!-- close relpost-thumb-wrapper --><!-- Developer mode initialization; Version: ;5.0.1Found 3 posts;Basic sizes;Got sizes 100x100;Post-thumbnails enabled in theme;Post has no thumbnail;Getting image from post body;No image was found;Found wrong formatted image: ;Image URL: ;Image is empty or no file.
