	One shouldn't have to type USS in front of Constitution. You should accept Bunker Hill without the Monument descriptor. North Church should be close enough.

	Please accept Paul Revere'_S_ House.

	Wow, as someone who lives in Boston, I had no idea what some of those were and others I've been inside them but had no idea what to give for their formal names. Also, you have the Harvard/MIT pair but everything else is in part of Boston the actual city. I would have picked the other Hancock building because it is much prettier and more historic.

	Also, because it is such a cool bridge, you should at least have it display under its actual name (which I typed in first) "Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge."

	Note to Editor: I believe it's spelled "M-O-N-S-T-A-H."

	Been to Boston two months ago and visited most of these, still only knew 7 answers...

	no one from Boston calls it "John Hancock Place"! You should accept the much more common "John Hancock Building"...otherwise great quiz!

	I lived in Boston for years and still can't spell "Faneuil."

	On my browser (IE7...no comments please, it's work-mandated) the rightmost column was halfway cut off and I couldn't adjust it. blah.

	since we know that it's in Boston, is it really necessary to say "Boston Public Library" instead of just "Public Library"?

	i live in boston... what the hell is the stata center?!

	bruinsfanatic:	Aug 4th, 2011 at 14:47 GMT		1 point
	Ya, nobody calls it the "Bunker Hill Bridge"...its called the Zakim bridge. Also, idk where stata center is, but I want to see it now.

	@mjl334. Stata is part of MIT. @bruinsfanatic. Strata is on Vassar, near the corner of Main and Vassar (head south on Vassar). It's building 32 of MIT

Comment below threshold: show it

	For the non-Boston sights, I suggest using any of the following as replacements: Old South Meeting House, Old City Hall, the current city hall (which is uglier than sin but unmistakably ours), Christian Science Church or the Mapparium, Museum of Science, New England Aquarium, Longfellow Bridge (aka the Salt and Pepper Shaker Bridge), Kenmore Square, the Public Gardens (or just the Swan Boats), or the Museum of Fine Arts.

	Loved it! Boston is the greatest city in the world, no?

	Chocolate:	Apr 16th, 2013 at 12:34 GMT		1 point
	BPL should do it. For over 40 years I've visited BPL. It's never the Boston Public Library. Also, where are the swan boats?
