So Granite Links is where the local Thunderdome is...I'll keep that in mind.

I've spent so much time in Quincy and never been here. Must change that immediately. Thanks for sharing this.

It's past the quarries, which also have a good view but you are risking your life on those things. At the golf course you can just park in a giant lot, any time of year, and the view is right there. When you're there, the building to the far right that includes a store and restaurant also has a public bathroom. It's a clutch stop, especially when the lighting is better than the pic above. (there was some weird localized snowing so the city was kind of faded)

Been to the quarries a bunch, always thought (incorrectly, apparently!) the course was private, so I never even bothered checking it out. I'll fix that soon enough.

The course itself might be private but the grounds are not. The lot is on top of the hill so there are views without needing to go onto the course. I only go for the pictures and the elusive public bathroom as part of a multi-stop day.

Granite links has a great driving range too. Albeit a little bit expensive. It's quite a scene there on warmer days. Highly recommend it

I've stopped for a burger in the restaurant at the golf club. As far as I know, it's open to everyone.

A collection of eccentric or out-of-place small homes in Cambridgeport (3.5.23). The neighborhood may have the greatest diversity of housing types and architectural styles of anywhere in the inner urban core of Boston? Doesn't seem to have a dominant typology, unlike pretty much every other significant residential neighborhood around.
