I may have posted this before, but I just happened to see it again on youtube.
This "blackstone canal tours" program is fantastic. My wife and our friends take turns driving the wagons, unfortunately this video was done on a day my wife wasn't there, but still nice to see our friends.
The kids from South high do a fantastic job narrating the tours - these are city kids, it's a rough school This program is so far out of their normal lives that I think it's great they all make such a good
effort. Some are great at it, some are simply awful, some barely speak english, but they all take it seriously and try hard which makes it all fun. Not only do they enjoy doing it, they're all learning to
appreciate the history of the city they live in.
Very low budget, informal, and very loosely structured - but they always make it very enjoyable for the guests.
People are always amazed that it's free. And that allows a lot of families to join in that normally wouldn't be able to.
I'm proud that my wife's a part of it.
