Really????? I think that people who don't live there think it's a bunch of yuppies. Sure you have rich towns like Chelsea and Brookline but then you have Dorchester and West Roxbury to even it out!

I dunno, I go to places that are very diverse so I don't see it.

Not a Bostonian here, but before I die, I plan on finding some excuse to live there at least for a very short while. I almost moved to the suburb of Newton, Mass., for school, but Toronto won out.

I think Boston has the rudest people I've ever met -- worse than Paris, worse than NYC -- but somewhow, I still love Beantown.

WTF?

When I was posting regularly here, there was NOBODY from Boston! Now all you motherfuckers come out of the woodwork after I move to Florida??

Well I've only been here for like six months... you're from Boston! It's lonely in the org for Bostonians...

FunkMistress said:

Yeah, but I'd much rather put a kid in Newton's school system than in Boston Public.
