Boston, U.S.A. (by Emarg)

my hometown. Well written synopsis of Boston, EMArg...........not sure if Boston is a much happier city than NYC though. As awesome a city as it is, it would not be high on my list as one of the US's "happiest" cities. Go to the US South or West for that, not in the Northeast corridor (Philly, NYC, Boston). I'm glad that you found it to be happy though

fantastic! I had my dad's side of the family all over the North End so I've been able to enjoy it since i was a young kid. Great memories.............one correction though.

Italian Mafia-North End
Irish Mafia-Winter Hill, Somerville

It's kind of important to make the distinction:lol:

Now that I've settled in Montreal (from Paris), it's crazy how striking some similarities can be.

interesting, would never have thought that Montreal was similar.British influenced city yes, similar to Montreal , no. As a kid worked at the hardware store on the corner of Cambridge street and Irving St back in the late '60's to mid 70's. A very different Boston back then but not so much Beacon Hill, the change has been way more subtle.
