Look Boston, the USS Constitution has been firing it cannons, and playing the National Anthem while docked on Constitution wharf longer than any of my relatives have lived in Boston. And that my friends is a long long time. And since USS Constitution has been firing off her cannons for such a long time, they have the right to continue firing them as long as they want. Honestly, if I was able to afford one of those super expensive condos by the wharf I would make a point of being proud to be able to see this beautiful frigate on a daily basis. Instead of the monthly visit I now make. But I have history with her, so much history. I love her.
