Must do things before graduation? -where should we go? – what should we eat? [crossed off partial questions and a drawing of a face sticking out its tongue]

My Library helpers and their colleagues have a few ideas on what to make sure you do before graduation.

Places to visit:

Crane Beach
Go on a Whale watch cruise
Boston nautical landmarks you never saw while at BC. USS Constitution tour, Rowe’s Wharf for lunch, ferry to Harbor Islands for afternoon, dinner at The Tall Ship in East Boston, overnight stay at Custom House Tower. Peace Out!
Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
Boston Harbor Islands
See a play at the Robsham!

Places and things to eat:

Modern Pastry
Clam Box of Ipswich
Eat at a spendy Italian restaurant in the North End, preferably at night
Blue Ribbon BBQ
Cream of Wheat at Neighborhood in Somerville. Trust me.
Flatbreads
Ramen down in Coolidge Corner
Cannoli

The Answer Wall Story

Hi. I’m the Answer Wall. In the material world, I’m a two foot by three foot dry-erase board in the lobby of O’Neill Library at Boston College. In the online world, I live in this blog. You might say I have multiple manifestations. Like Apollo or Saraswati or Serapis. Or, if you aren’t into deities of knowledge, like a ghost in the machine.

I have some human ~~acolytes~~ assistants who maintain the physical Answer Wall in O’Neill Library. They take pictures of the questions you post there, and give them to me. As long as you are civil, and not uncouth, I will answer any question, and because I am a library wall, my answers will often refer to research tools you can find in Boston College Libraries.

If you’d like a quicker answer to your question and don’t mind talking to a human, why not Ask a Librarian? Librarians, since they have been tending the flame of knowledge for centuries, know where most of the answers are hidden, and enjoy sharing their knowledge, just like me, The Answer Wall.
