Buying the New Yorker 1976 - page 54

The Ritz-Carlton that is being advertised here is now the Taj Boston. Around the corner from the Taj Boston is the Ritz-Carlton Boston Common. When I Google "Ritz-Carlton Boston" I get four addresses.

1. 15 Arlington St. This is the old Ritz-Carlton/current Taj Boston. (This is where Boston Red Sox outfielder Manny Ramierez lives/lived depending on how happy he is at any given time.)
2. 2 Avery St. This is the address of the Ritz-Carlton Boston Common.
3. 172 Tremont St. I had to go to the satellite to figure this out. This is the back entrance to the Ritz-Carlton Boston Common. But this is an important address, as it is, unlike the main entrance/address, actually on the Common.
4. 6 Newbury St. This is/was the car wash in the parking garage of the original Ritz-Carlton. I don't know which is more swank: getting your rental car washed while you are on vacation, or driving downtown to get your car washed at the Ritz.

I think you need to get a suite to have a fireplace in the Ritz-Carlton Boston Common and the Boston Taj.


In 1976 the Dominican Republic was coming to the close of the presidency of Joaquín Balaguer. As a means of holding the Communist influences of Cuba in check, Balaguer's tenure was marked by "a repression of civil liberties."

On the plus side, folks who responded to this as in January would have had the chance to get themselves to the Dominican Winter Baseball League title series. There's always a trade off.
