Bennington Street

Coordinates: 42°23′9″N 71°0′33″W / 42.38583°N 71.00917°W / 42.38583; -71.00917 Bennington Street is one of the main thoroughfares in the Boston, Massachusetts neighborhood of East Boston. The street runs almost the length of the residential section of the community—as distinguished from Logan International Airport, which makes up almost half of the community's land mass.

Bennington Street—one of several local streets named after battles of the American Revolution -- begins at the neighborhood's Central Square as a narrow two-way road crowded with shops and houses. After about half a mile, the street crosses Chelsea Street, another of the community's busiest roads, and that intersection is Day Square, one of East Boston's main retail centers.

From there, Bennington Street is a wider, tree-lined road, with two lanes of traffic in each direction separated by an island. The road then goes through the center of the Orient Heights section of the neighborhood and curves left past the Belle Isle Marsh Reservation on the right, entering the city of Revere and ending in Beachmont Square at the intersection of Winthrop Street and State Road.

Famous quotes containing the word street:

“I mount the steps and ring the bell, turning
Wearily, as one would turn to nod good-bye to Rochefoucauld,
If the street were time and he at the end of the street,
And I say, “Cousin Harriet, here is the Boston Evening Transcript.””
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
