| Road to Lincoln MA where Paul Revere was captured, 1898 "About 1932 the Saturday Evening Post published a large cartoon showing Paul Revere on the road to Concord and surrounded by hot-dog stands, fried clam resorts and such. It sort of hurt for the only sign-board in the picture was "Lexington." You all know the high road from Lexington to Concord and what a mess it is. I am glad to tell you that none of those stands are in Lexington. They are in Lincoln and Concord. Lexington adopted a zoning law that in time to prevent such abominations. Lincoln doesn't care and Concord regrets its delay. Here is a picture of the spot in Lincoln where Revere was captured. Which do you prefer - this view or the mess that's there now? It's a fine example of the value of our photography work to be able to show what this spot looked like up to 25 years ago. This picture was taken in 1898." |
