Union Park, South End - Boston

Union Park runs from Tremont to Shawmut Street in the South End.  The street is lined with beautiful, brick bowfront row houses from the 1850s that surround an oval park and includes two water fountains on each end lined with fragrant flowers. 

On summer evenings neighbors from these buildings sit on their steps (or stoop as I refer to them) and sip cool beverages to people watch and enjoy the warm summer nights.

This is one of my favorite parts of Boston... all the neighbors fallen under summer's spell, sipping wine on their steps and watching the world go by.

I love this look. It says East Coast city in the 19th century!

I do love the South End and that is one of my face sections as well. Great photos!
