Boston

I am set for the AIA convention in Boston in May

I was there with a friend for the Marathon. He was running and I was the morale support. All in all, it was a great experience.

Boston is the closest I’ve been to a European style city in America. The red brick architecture is amazing. I really want to go back and spend some quality time there. Who knows, mayb eeven go to a Red Sox game.

My only question is what’s with all the Dunkin Dounuts shops? There seems to be one on every block.

I’d love to live here one day.

I have just moved to Boston after visiting a number of other cities. I think Boston is the most beautiful city I’ve ever been to. The past is alive here—Boston feels like both a very very old city and a very modern one. It feels very European to me—although not having been to Europe I can’t really say that. It has narrow curving streets lined with brownstones and gorgeous old churches and tons of independent shops and restaurants. It is a multi-cultural stew—I love hearing so many different languages all around me, meeting so many Irish, Russian, Jewish, African-American, Latino etc. people. It has a diversity that I have only dreamed of before. I love that it is not on a grid—it is so beautifully complex. I love that it is easy to get around—between the T and the buses. There is no need to ever have a car here, in fact, a car is a distinct liability. There is so much going on here culturally—I love the fact that Boston has over 14 universities and colleges. What a smart city it is! I could talk about Boston all day but I’ve only been here 3 weeks so keep that in mind. I highly recommend visiting.

If you like anime, you should check out the Anime Convention there.
Also, Sam Adams Brewery Tour is a must! Check out all the bars for their awesome draft beer as well.

Fun City!! Great food and lots of see. Best to discover by foot. Try and get to the New England Aquarium.. love the penguins!!!

I was about 15 and I remember being amazed by the delicious seafood the bay, and the exciting irish pubs! I remember loving Boston and I really need to go back soon!!

This is one of my top three cities in the US that I’d absolutely love to move to if I had the chance.

I’ll be going here in June. Any ideas?

My youngest daughter, Jeanette,is getting married this summer in Boston-yeah!!!! I don’t know if I am more excited about the wedding or getting to go back to Boston!
