Explain Boston to Me

Lexington with Trisha Pérez Kennealy

Season 1 Episode 64

In this week's episode, we're learning all about Lexington, aka the "birthplace of American Liberty." Or so they say! Giving us the 411 on this iconic New England town is Trisha Pérez Kennealy, local and proprietor of the Inn at Hastings Park. We chat about the area's colonial history, the rivalry with Concord, NIMBYs and why her establishment is the perfect place for corporate espionage.

Plus, lots of feedback on the Fenway episode!
