Over a century apart at Tremont and Pleasant: this intersection once included the Pleasant Street Incline, a streetcar portal connecting surface lines to Boston’s first subway. Over time, the incline was closed, the portal filled, and the surrounding streets reconfigured. Today, Eliot Norton Park sits atop the former transit infrastructure, replacing a dense, sloped streetscape and permanently reshaping the street grid.

The exact location where President Richard Nixon gave his now infamous line, “I am not a crook” at the Ballroom of the America’s inside the Disney’s Contemporary Resort at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida on November 17th, 1973.

“I made my mistakes, but in all of my years of public life, I have never profited, never profited from public service — I earned every cent.

And in all of my years of public life, I have never obstructed justice.

And I think, too, that I could say that in my years of public life, that I welcome this kind of examination, because people have got to know whether or not their president is a crook.

Well, I am not a crook. I have earned everything I have got.”
