well, the Ottoman wanna-bees are going to do some rabble rousing and try to use the old church as a mosque.

well, you wonder why they can't make their own buildings?

why use an old one that always reminds everyone : ya, these talentless slave trader people, the Ottomans, tried to take over the world and errarse everyone else's history and had nothing left to add or build that wasn't plundered, nothing new, no improvment, just world wide slavery.

Yup, that is the legacy of the Ottamans: everyone be a slave and the head is a slave and all of them are slaves.

those benches rot and get growdy. How about some marble?

and also, when you have all those statues, the bases of them will all have parts where pepole will naturally sit down and rest. in the shade of the statue.

if you view walk-throughs of European places, where the local try to remember the past through statues, the successful ones are usually in a plaza, and there are always tourists, and others, sitting in the shade of it.

but if you want a garden, you might look at the gardens at the Villa Borghese in Roma.

That's an elaborate garden, and has some really cool historical sculpture.

I woulnd't mind seeing something like a Palladian Bridge.

I'd link a walk-through of someone whose a good narrator, but, well, astute people can find those things on their own.

So where in America do we have the equivalent of the Pincian Hill?

I still think that sweet spot north of the Old North Bridge would be really cool to have as one of the gardens (why just have one?) and it's a conservation place already, and owned by trustees who, well, they should be generous with their endowment that they are just in charge of, and do not actually own it.

I'm surprised that wealthy patrons of history aren't already offering up the choices parcels for the use of a garden for the public use. What better way to make sure that one's legacy is given a place to be featured?

The National Park in Lexington has the wonderful Battle Road and that is the first part of the roadt that goes through Lexintion, and Concord, past the Poet's Ridge (a place in a cemetary) and very very famous houses. And then you get to the center of Concord and there are a bunch of monuments in full view like a Mast as a flagpole, and some other stuff. But then you get to the old north bridge. the road doesn't make that trun and go over the bridge, but it used to. And that was the bridge where the battle was. And if you read names on gravestones near Harvard (in the graveyard) university next to the Universalit Church and political action committee building in the grave yard the places include, where the young men who were killed in battle in Cambridge, etc during the war against the British Tryanny, the place , on place, is 'Peterboro' and if you took that road over the bridge back in the day and kept going, you'd have ended up in Peterboro rather easily if you wanted to.

well that line of travel was gvein over to some very wealty people and eventually passed over to the Trust of Harvartd University (it's a very large piece of land) and it is very historic already. (and mansions, I do believe, abutt the wol thing, thos endowed pepole are so clever in where they live.).

any who it would tickle me that they , those harrvard ones who are entrusted to oversee the monies and properties, would give over thta piece of a nice public garden and sculptures of great americans. We can include a bunch from the area, all the folks who are from that part have a list of names.

there is a great list of names on a building in Lowell, I believe it's the WWI memorial building. The whole side of it is covered with names of great Americans.
