The song is a paean to the city of Boston and its then-famously polluted Boston Harbor and Charles River:
Down by the River...
Down by the banks of the River Charles
(Oh, that's what's happenin' baby)
That's where you'll find me
Along with lovers, muggers, and thieves
(Ahh, but they're cool people)
But I love that dirty water
Oh, Boston, you're my home

Ok so you can tell I've never been to Boston, but What river runs through it??
Very Nice shot, It informed me that Boston is a LOT bigger than I though, The sky is beautiful and you've got a big ol hiway system 9
Far out....I miss it.......this was fun....the Citgo sign is STILL there! Kenmore square, right? Fenway Park. Charles River. Com. Ave. Storrow drive. Were you in the John Hancock building or in a plane??? I took a photo of myself in the Hancock mirrored elevators in 1976......I was trying to figure out "who I was" lolol I was an art student....ha. Fabulous colors. Gives me the same sense I felt back in the day....the New England detached coolness.
