This is a great day for Boston.

You know it's a history that happens every single year over the years and the Swans go from Franklin Park to hear the public gardens for the summer, retreat this on the air and then we'll be taking them back in the end, the fall, but we have a lot of great things happening in the city of Boston and we're doing an awful lot of work at the direction of our parks department to make sure that we upgrade our services in our parks and bring life to our parks in this year, but we're putting about 40, more programs and all our parks love the city of Boston.

So we can bring young people and elderly to our products. They can enjoy our parks. Our goal is to be the number one park system in the country. Certainly as far as programming, though we will be number one this year in the country and as we move forward in the next couple years, we're going to be doing a lot of upgrades for our facilities.
