Boston Legal Trivia





It is Saturday afternoon, April 7th. I took a trip downtown to the city of Boston. I love to visit the area, riding on the T (subway for you outoftowners). It was a nice day, yet a little crisp. 40 degrees I believe but still a nice day.

I thought I would give you a little trivia about Boston and "Boston Legal". I have become a great fan of the show and wondered about the buildings that are shown in the episodes. When you watch the show, you will see a picture of the building where the Law firm of Crane, Poole & Schmidt is located. The actual building is a at 500 Boylston Street which is located in the Back Bay of Boston. In the real building (the taller one) are retail stores and offices.
The office is located at a famous intersection of Boylston and Dartmouth. You can see the street signs pop up in the show as well.
Then there is the "courthouse" in the show. I love it! The Boston Legal Courthouse is actually the City of Boston Public Library. (the longer stone building) The library is also located at the corner of Boylston and Dartmouth. Both buildings, as well as the street corner, are located in Copley Place. The famous Trinity Church of Boston is next door to the 500 Boylston Street Building.
One more picture is the Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge. Pretty unique and a recognizable Boston landmark in many movies and shows.
Just a little trivia for your day.
