What was The Big Dig all about?

What’s good with Blue Hill Ave? Is it like Georgia Ave in DC?

You been to Brooklyn right? To me Blue Hill Ave is like Flatbush Ave (after your pass prospect park)

What was The Big Dig all about?

basically putting the highway underground. Highways have destroyed many US cities.

matter of fact that just bulldozed a small highway in the Bronx.

Man fukk these ratings the lowest you can give Boston is a 5 everyone 1 staring this thread ain't shyt

What's good in seaport. Man good life hasnt been as good and kgb is a trash venue. I'm mad cure is down for renovations. Man that's was the spot

It's a city rich in history and looks very good in the summer. Also a very smart and young city with world class institutions and colleges near-by (Harvard, MIT, BU, BC, UMass etc). Too cold in the winter and not as culturally diverse. A lot of old money here. I really couldn't see myself living in Boston for a long period of time. Too damn cold.

It's really the center of that "New England" feel. 7/10

Haven't heard much about the city. I do know its one of the best walking cities in the country. My hatred for the cold weather and the Celtics, and more so the Patriots, make me not really want to live there. Maybe I'll visit sometime when the weather is nice.

Just saw this thread, LMAO at the one stars.

Boston Proper is a beautiful city that feels about as European as it gets on this continent ( Minus Quebec City).

I’m biased since I’m from New England, but I travel extensively for work and find Boston to be one of the most livable cities in the US. History, architecture, culture, higher learning, food & sports offset by cold New England winters, mass holes and a overblown, but justified, racial past.

Food gets overlooked, as there are many small places tucked into off the beaten path locations for a variety of ethnic foods. I ate at some Ethiopian place and I couldn’t even tell you where it was.

1 stars are just haters who have never been.

I was a bit surprised at the low rating myself. I didn’t know people hated Boston that badly.

They have most likely never been and have been told Boston is racist, plus they hate our sports teams with a passion lol.

Been here in Boston proper for 8 years now, took some getting used to for sure because it really is small city.

Reasonable places to go out, culturally good, food scene small but ok. Music scene with 0 cohesion real drawback. It’s a good place to work.

Covert racism is a bytch for sure liberal racists everywhere.

EDIT Boston brehs what’s good? Where you now?

We should do a Coli meet up Boston.

Have to touch down in all neighborhoods to feel what Boston has to offer. Side note Boston’s jazz scene is underrated.

That’s a great thought, more people from the area on here than I realized. Nightlife just starting to warm up as things get closer to New Years.

 

[kenjaminfranklin]

I’m with it

I'll give it a 6. It was fun, and I had the best salad I ever had in my life there lol...

It's like an East Coast version of SF, but with more black and brown people. I thought Roxbury and Dorchester were dope. The white people are loud and the obnoxious stereotype of the "tough Boston white boy" is a real thing, a grip of em were on The T using the n-word freely (to each other) while nobody black checked em...

Trains are raggedy as fukk there. Cold as fukk in the winter. Feels similar in size to SF/Dallas/ATL, they are all similarly sized and feeling...

Where did you get the salad from? lol

 

[murksiderock]

Where did you get the salad from? lol

I honestly can't remember bro. I was somewhere downtown though, I know theres thousands of places down there but they also had pizza and burgers. Salad was off the gotdamn hook...

 

[N711oir]

Never went for a long time just out of respect for the yankees


But was pleasantly surprised, very educated upper class crowd, but still very crisp air of racism


Boston to me per capita still one of the most racist places in the United States
