That's so cool, but I was totally let down. I heard about this about a month ago, and was looking forward to finding out what is in it, and then,"Well, we're not taking anything out yet..." :P

Tammany Hall was in NYC.

The Boston Politian known for corruption was James Michael Curley - four terms as Mayor of Boston (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston,_Massachusetts#Mayors_of_Boston.2C_Past_and _Present): 1914–1918, 1922–1926, 1930–1934 and 1946–1950

Irish Catholics took control of Boston politics by 1900.

A Boston landmark since 1868. My father took me there about 50 years ago.

With our luck, the book has a bunch of Benjies in it....but they're worth MUCH more than $100 now. :doh:

"To Serve Ham" -- It's a cookbook which includes popular recipes, like "Hamvention Hot Dogs".


BTW: Richard Kiel, who played the alien in that Twilight Zone episode, passed away last month. He was of course better known as "Jaws" in the James Bond movies.

That's a good idea, but they NEVER stick money in those. Another vote for 1901 Pron.

Problem with time capsules is that there is never anything interesting in them.

A Boston time capsule dating to 1901 contained letters, photographs, newspaper clippings, political campaign buttons and a presidential message on U.S. foreign relations, archivists said Wednesday.
The shoebox-sized capsule was removed last week from the head of lion statue that has long stood guard over the Old State House. The Bostonian Society, which oversees the historic building, released an inventory of the items Wednesday and said they would go on public display in the near future.
The existence of the time capsule had only recently been confirmed. The box was opened Oct. 9 but the items inside were not initially removed because of concerns they might be damaged if not properly handled.
The presence of a red hardcover book, with no visible title, surprised the organization because it had not been included on a list discovered by an ancestor of a man who worked on the statue, nor was it referenced in a recently-uncovered 1901 newspaper article about the time capsule.
When the book was later opened, it revealed the title "Foreign Relations of the United States," followed by the subtitle, "The Annual Message of the President of the United States," transmitted to Congress on Dec. 7, 1896. Grover Cleveland was president on that date.
