I graduated from Wentworth Institute of technology on Huntington ave in Boston. I lived for awhile in Waltham, Roslindale, Newtwon, Brighton Center and Boston itself. Oh wait and Brookline. Wow, I was pretty transient in my youth....

Do they still have the open air market on Saturdays? I remember buying a 50 pound box of Bluefish and riding the subway home. Everybody hated me..It stank!

Fleet Center or Boston Garden?? I may be dating myself here, but I still can't believe they got rid of the Garden.

Do they still have the open air market on Saturdays? Do you mean Haymarket? Yes, they still have that. And yes I still remember the old Boston Garden as well.

They must have loved you with the fish too!

A shame a rail link connecting the new North station and South Station isn't in place.

In September my wife, my mother-in-law and I are taking a train to Portland, Maine for a couple of days. We have one major complaint.
Because my wife is handicapped, we must use the T's
handicapped service The Ride to get to North Station. Doing so most likely means a transfer between vans somewhere in Boston before we even reach North.

Though it's in september, pray we have no problems making our train

Boston is awesome, I live in western mass so i've only been a couple times but it's great. I got to see the charles river race one time, also Fenway.

Boston is fantastic. I went to college there (small performing arts school called The Boston Conservatory) and stayed for a year after I graduated. I am considering moving back. Though I'm not sure what the scene is like for 20-30-something professionals; it's been 4 years since I've lived there, too. Any thoughts? I'm 28 now, and I know the town is full of college folks, but I wasn't old enough to mingle with the professional crowd.

Boston is still quite a happening place for the twenty and thritysomething crowds. It has been rated one of the top cities for singles.

I miss Boston! I live in NH now and visit once or twice a year for events and walking around town, but when I was in my clubbing/shopaholic days I went 'to town' every weekend to walk the shops on Newbury Street (Newbury Comics, yay!), eat at open air cafes or down in Quincy Market, and go dancing! Boston is a fabulous place.

I worked with international exchange students this summer and our team brought young people from Russia, Spain, Hong Kong & Taiwan all over the place and we visited Boston twice - they loved it! It was so much fun looking at the city through new eyes.

I lived in Dorchester for almost a year at one point, and it was ok. Insurance rates for cars go way up, especially if you have points. And some neighborhoods just look too...ghetto (no offense). I now live in Quincy, just outside of Boston, and wow what a difference. I love Quincy...I live in a decent suburban neighborhood and not even 5 miles from the heart of Boston. There is plenty of public transportation as well.

Boston is a great city, but i found it spiritually challenging to live there!

That is exactly why I want to move there.!!!!!!!

Boston, home of the Dirty Water. I spent my youth/YAdulthood there, can't say that I have any regrets. One day we may move back there, and if you're ever in the neighborhood, look up Angelina's in Everett. It's a bus ride from North Station, 104/109 all the way to Ferry/Broadway intersection. BEST SUBS EVER!!!
