My TouchPad Today: South Boston - Sullivan's and Castle Island/Fort Independence

From another day out and about with my TouchPad and Pre2...

Now celebrating its 60th anniversary, Sullivan's has been a favorite for generations who want a great hot dog or other quick food.

The stand (actually a brick building) is open from February to November.

This year's closing date is November 27.

Each November, hot dogs are 1/2 price... 80 cents this year.

The 2012 reopening will be in late February.

Dating back to the 1600's, a number of forts have been on the Castle Island site overlooking Boston Harbor.

The current Fort Independence dates back to the mid-1800's and is frequently opened for free public tours and community activities.

Castle Island is a popular spot for walkers and joggers who go around the site on multi-level paved paths. Another popular activity is fishing from a pier on the harbor-facing side of the fort.

Other points of interest nearby (in addition to Sullivan's) are City Point and Pleasure Bay.
