...Quincy, the Quincy House master's two-floor apartment was named one of Boston's top five apartments by Boston Magazine. With three bedrooms and four baths in the main apartment, and a four-bedroom, two-bathroom residence assistant quarter, the rooms are large and spacious. But the interior dulls in comparison to the Boston and Cambridge skyline that lies just outside. Elegant living is not the big selling point for the pad; the Quincy House residence simply has what others do not: an immense roof garden with exquisite views of Boston and the Charles.

Like Austen's Emma (it's hard to avoid referencing Austen when a novel includes elements such as the aforementioned Darcy...
...road are extremely sharp, and even in daylight, the way between the two casinos is poorly marked and often confusing. Back on Mohegan Sun Boulevard, I take my first real look at the complex's exterior. The place is a monstrosity. The efforts taken in appointing the interior have clearly been spared on the casino's outside. Again I find myself at the end of the Sun's strip. I turn into the Winter Parking Lot and walk back to the casino. I expect a nearly empty house and low betting minimums, just what I had hoped for last night...
