"Get close to history in Boston" from Houston Chronicle

Get close to history in Boston

But when the likes of Paul Revere, Samuel Adams and George Washington weren’t busy making history, they were like the rest of us — in need of places to dine, relax or even down a brew or two.

Being from Texas, the land of the Yankees seems like the idyllic place to be for the Fourth of July. I think this feature piece's lede draws in the Houston reader with all the well-known tales and personas tied to historic Boston. Texans don't have the rich history of the American Revolution, so they are naturally curious about it.
