The zoning rules in Concord has strict regulation on changing the structure of any buildings, as a result the downtown area hasn't changed much over the past 100 years!

Jason Varitek gets ready for a pitch at Fenway Park. Red Sox won the game 9-1 against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. This photo was taken in Section 24, Field Box 51.
Fenway Park is the smallest park in Major League Baseball. In 2006, the seats average $20 - $100, and are very hard to get since every game has sold out since 2003. A Fenway Frank cost $4. The parking lot across the street cost $30. The cheapest way to get to Fenway and see a game is to park at a Green Line station, and then take the 'T' in.
