Debauchery

1/14/2013

fornication with natives and drunkenness

Retrieved my new devil red Nissan Frontier Pickup from Quirk Dealer in Quincy, MA (home of two Presidents) with sleep over at brother's house. Included the secret Low X symbol for those in the know.

 It was just like old swap times 8 years back on this Acura TSX swap to Peabody, MA except this truck was for me. 

 This Merrymount Park is just a mile north of the Quirk Dealership overlooking Quincy Bay. It was previously called Wollaston, but don't ask any local residents walking there- none of them knew what name the park they were in. President John Quincy Adams grandson collaborated with his good friend Fredrick Law Olmsted on laying out the grounds. The funny thing is, this is the spot where Great Gramps Richard Olmsted partied as a 21 yr old in 1632. He had first settled in Quincy but was banished from the "Merrymount" (play on words?) area by the pure as the driven snow Puritans. The area had a reputation for early colonists "going native" in debauchery with native women and drunkenness. They were recreating the bacchus orgies of Greek God Dionysus of wine and ecstasy (that I learned about from my coins- and everyone thought they were boring). People will question this, but I say Google it.

 Some say this congested traffic ridden old colonial town is for the birds. Others say on a clear day you can see the Prudential building in downtown Boston.

 Concerned Sales Manager kept a wary eye on my photographic documentation not quite knowing if I was an investigator or what. I believe this ended up helping me later in my negotiations on the truck deal.
