Sunday With Liz

Imagination

This show is called Imagination. How we use it sets us apart from the day to day; and removes our day to day limits.

BOSTON (WBZ) ― Robert Parker
In our Sunday conversation the Master of imagination, the Dean of American crime novel Robert B. Parker. He talks about his latest book, the western drama-- Resolution.

An At-Home Oasis
With a little imagination and some state of the art technology, you can turn your bathroom into an entirely different world. Designer Jane Face at the Expo Design Center in Burlington showed our Sunday crew what's new.

My Town
There are many ways to take in all the rich and diverse history of Boston, but one of the most imaginative approaches is the walking tour led by a group called MY TOWN, that's an acronym for Multi-Cultural Youth Tour of What's Now. The tour guides are wonderful young high school kids who offer a unique and often surprising historical perspective on a number of city neighborhoods.

Crazy Dough
Everybody loves pizza, but we believe we have found the most imaginative pizza around. Doug Ferriman from Crazy Dough Pizza in Boston prides itself on unique and crazy combinations like Reuben, Bacon Ranch, and Macaroni and Cheese!

Just Thinking
It was almost dark. The two of them sat on the front stoop, the old man remembering and the young man surprisingly attentive. On this block, old people like community gardens were usually ignored, so this was a nice moment. It used to be a nice neighborhood, but everything had changed. Homeowners had died or moved away. Triple deckers that once stood proudly were now slumped in disrepair; some were boarded up used only by the desperate and hopeless. Block parties had long given way to drug deals and drive bys. By this time of evening most folks were locked in behind closed doors their lives frozen in fear. The old man's voice got stronger as he recalled back in the day, when he was captain of the neighborhood watch, folks looked out for each other and on the street, respect could be earned without a gun. As the conversation went on, one man's recollections caught another's imagination, and for a moment or two something dead was brought back to life. And then the young man remembered he had to get to work. Mr. Johnson, he said softy as he stood up and surveyed the decaying street. "I wish I had lived in your time. We could have kept a good thing going around here." The old man grabbed his visitor's arm and looked him straight in the eye. "Young brother there's a lot that's changed. But this is still my time and you are right here."
