The city of Boston is one of my earliest childhood memories and experiences. It is a incredibly diverse city with so many different cultures gathered in one place, especially with Cambridge next to it right across the river.
Next summer my city will finally, after decades of waiting, be connected by commuter rail to it. I look forward to going there often again.
I lived in Lynn, Lynn, City of Sin for 18 month while I took Oceanography from Buckley at Harvard Extension School and designed a magazine for a Harvard environmental group. I LOVE Boston. But I have to say, the day I moved in, it was -17 degrees and the Lynn Harbor was frozen over -- and that's SALT WATER. Everybody is drunk there all the time because it's the only way to stay warm. But, Lord, it's wonderful. Every day somebody who knows more about h/er field than anybody in the world is giving a free lecture somewhere. I used to take the T into Harvard Square, and when you'd pop out into the sunlight, it was incredible. It was a joy to be there for awhile. Such a good time.
Harvard Square, oh the memories that place prompts in me! Eating at Grendel’s was one of my first exposures to the Harvard environment. My uncle brought me when I was 17. It was the first time I ever had hummus, and got to see a very different crowd of people from the small town I grew up in.
✨Only time in Boston was 1980 after graduating college. Bestie and I went on a trek to see most of the states in the continental USA. Great food and fun. But oh, the 5 lane roundabout was quite a surprise 😮!
When I was there, driving was quite an adventure. The State of Massachusetts had had quite a few lean years, and one of the economy's casualities was its Department of Transportation, which didn't have enough money to repaint the white lines between lanes. During the dead of winter, when everyone's blood alcohol level was well over the legal limit for at least four months, the majority of drivers were either incompetent of lethally aggressive. Then there was the five-lane roundabout which makes the one in Tijuana look tame by comparison! It was like that scene in John Wick 4. You wondered if you'd get out alive.
