It's a whole lot more than Spencer Tracy's 1938 movie
Boys Town的点评
点评：If you haven't seen the 1938 motion picture "Boys Town" starring Spencer Tracy and Mickey Rooney, you must not own a television set. It put a spotlight on the work of Father Edward J. Flanagan, an Irish priest who established his Home for Boys in 1917 to care, treat and educate homeless and at-risk children. In 1921, he purchased Overlook Farm on the outskirts of Omaha, Nebraska, and moved his boys' home there. In time, it became known as the Village of Boys Town, which became home to hundreds of boys and grew to include a school, dormitories, administration buildings. Father Flanagan's work, which he called "God's work," continued after his death in 1948 as the population doubled and the complex expanded to include expanded educational, vocational, athletic and arts opportunities for its residents. My wife and I, who are annual donors to Boys Town, were anxious to see Boys Town as it is today. Start at the visitor center and have lunch at the Overlook Cafe. We recommend the 1/2-pound patty melt with mushrooms, grilled onions and bleu cheese and the 1/2-pound specialty burger with BBQ, bacon and cheese. With a basket of fries. Or maybe you'd prefer the soup and salad bar. If you arrive early, try the two-egg Denver omelet with hash browns, ham, peppers, onions and cheese. Take a guided or self-guided tour, learn the history of Boys Town at the Hall of History, visit the Dowd and Chambers chapels, the Garden of the Bible, Father Flanagan's house and tomb and the gift shop.
翻译：如果您还没有看过 1938 年由 Spencer Tracy 和 Mickey Rooney 主演的电影“Boys Town”，那么您一定没有电视机。它突出了爱德华·J·弗拉纳根神父的工作，他是一位爱尔兰牧师，他于 1917 年建立了他的男孩之家，以照顾、治疗和教育无家可归和处于危险中的儿童。 1921 年，他买下了内布拉斯加州奥马哈市郊的 Overlook 农场，并将他儿子的家搬到了那里。随着时间的推移，它被称为男孩镇村，成为数百名男孩的家园，并发展成为包括一所学校、宿舍和行政大楼。弗拉纳根神父的工作，他称之为“上帝的工作”，在他于 1948 年去世后继续进行，当时人口翻了一番，综合体扩大到为居民提供更多的教育、职业、体育和艺术机会。我和我的妻子每年都会为 Boys Town 捐助者，他们渴望看到 Boys Town 的今天。从游客中心出发，在 Overlook Cafe 享用午餐。我们推荐 1/2 磅的蘑菇肉饼、烤洋葱和蓝纹奶酪，以及 1/2 磅的特色汉堡配烧烤、培根和奶酪。配一篮薯条。或者您可能更喜欢汤和沙拉吧。如果您来得早，可以试试两蛋丹佛煎蛋卷配薯饼、火腿、辣椒、洋葱和奶酪。参加导游或自助游，在历史大厅了解男孩镇的历史，参观多德和钱伯斯教堂、圣经花园、弗拉纳根神父的故居和陵墓以及礼品店。
