Boston Common

Boston Common (also known as "the Common" and sometimes erroneously referred to as the "Boston Commons") is a location and a central public park in downtown Boston in the Commonwealth in 2287.

Layout
Boston Common consists of a large and open, irradiated area. The common contains other locations such as the Massachusetts State House to the north, Swan's Pond on the western side complete with pre-War swan boats. In addition, the Boylston Club can be found on the outskirts through the red door in the southern row of buildings, the Prost bar, a basement bar on the north corner of the western row of buildings, and Park Street station, on the northeasternmost corner. A plaque reads:

The Freedom Trail also begins at Boston Common. There is a friendly Protectron named tour bot located on the eastern side of the common next to the fountain. In front of the fountain, there is a sign and a seal.

The sign reads, "At Journey's End Follow Freedom's Lantern." The seal says "The Freedom Trail. Boston." There appears to be a code. The number 7 is written in the center with red ink, and the letter A in Trail is bracketed. Each of the seals has a number that corresponds to a letter in "railroad" - for example, the seal marked 1 has the "R" marked.
