There is. Also some really elegant parks. When the city was flush they put a lot of cash into public works, but the real secret is there was never so much of a demand for real estate that the old stuff got destroyed. Nobody wanted it enough to "improve" it. Lowell's the same way; there are some really nice buildings up there that have remained untouched since they got built with mill money.

Anyway, it's a weird town but it definitely has its charms. My mom lives just outside the city now so I frequently find myself wandering the streets at odd hours. :)
