Cheers Bar
What better place to start our tour than right here, at the classic Cheers Bar. Some of you may recognize it from the famous American TV show ‘Cheers’. It was a sitcom about a cozy bar in Boston (obviously) where the bar owner, Sam Malone, who played for the Boston Red Sox, treats the customers like family, somewhere people can go after a long day of work, sit on their favorite chair at the bar and let their worries go. It’s a place where when you walk in everyone knows your name. While the sitcom was airing, I’m pretty sure there wasn’t a person in America that didn’t know the words to the show’s theme song. I’ll sing a couple lines for you to help jog your memory and if you’ve never heard it before now, well then, you’re welcome!

Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came

Catchy, right? The pub was originally known as Bull & Finch, but with the popularity of the sitcom, it changed its name to, ‘Cheers’. Smart move, Bull & Finch. If you want to head in and grab a quick drink before we go, awesome, otherwise, let’s get this tour started! When it’s safe, cross to the otherside of Beacon St. Once you’re across, take a left, and make your way to the entrance at the corner of Beacon. This is where we’ll start touring Boston Common!

POI 6 Tour Image
Make Way for the Ducklings
On your left, you’ll see statues representing a family of ducks making their way through Boston Common, and while it might seem a little random, it’s actually quite fitting, if you happen to love children’s books.

Robert McCloskey wrote and illustrated a children’s book called, ‘Make Way for Ducklings”.
Sure, I could tell you all about the book, and the nail-biting journey this family of ducks took, but where’s the fun in that?
Do they all make it home together?
Are there tragic losses on the way?

I know your curiosity to find out what happens might make it hard to concentrate on the rest of the tour and that’s totally understandable.

For now, try to put your worries to rest while we continue to explore this beautiful park! And who knows, maybe the visitor center we’ll pass by later will have a copy of the book.

Keep going straight and I’ll let you know when to turn.
