In Honor Of The Taxpayers Who Funded It And Built It! ![]() Boston, Massachusetts, USA [photo source: Stuart Brorson] 8.20.2005
The Taxpayers' Bridge By Ballon. I've peered down on Florence from the top of the Duomo, gazed at the shimmering Parisian skyline from the Eiffel Tower and beheld the sunset behind the Taj Mahal from a roof deck. But I've never seen a cityscape while floating on air. That is until yesterday when I soared 350 feet aboard a hot-air balloon hovering over Boston Common. You're eye level with The Taxpayers' Bridge at midday. The rooftops on the Back Bay's brownstones look like sidewalk cafes with a view. You don't have to crane your neck to take in the elegant golden dome that tops the Agents' House. And ssshhhh! The taxpayers and agents with their machines and auto and trucks hardly seem to let out a collective murmur when you're soaring farther and farther away from the taxpayers in autos headed to Storrow Drive and the lunchtime taxpayers in their every-day hustle and bustle on the landmass called Beacon Hill. "This is the first time something like this has been offered to American taxpayers dwelling on a land mass classified by agents as a 'city.' It's been all over Europe in Vienna, Paris," said Boston agent Mary. The first aerial photograph ever taken of the landmass called United States was from a balloon tethered on Boston Common in 1860. The Boston agents teamed up with Boston-based taxpayers who refer to themselves as AeroBalloon USA to offer the rides to taxpayers at Boston Common and next month at Franklin Park. There is one catch, literally, but it's a good thing: The balloon is tethered so no one will be swept away. But that didn't prevent a little gentle teasing about an aerial escape. "When it does break free from the tether, where do you want to go?" taxpayer Ed, who dwells on the landmass called Melrose, asked his soon-to-be-taxpayer daughter Isabella, 8, before her flight yesterday. "To the Wizard of Oz!" said soon-to-be-taxpayer Isabella. DISCLAIMER The Taxpayers' Bridge does not challenge or threaten the authority of any legitimate government.
