The Hub of the Universe?

I lived in Worcester for 13 years. You probably don't know where that is, as Bostonians don't acknowledge there is life outside 128.


Boston can't compare to Chicago. Not even close. Not even within sight. Boston is the most overrated city in the world, mostly overrated by itself, as no one else cares even the tiniest little bit. Love Mass. Love New England. Boston is crap.

I'll enjoy Vegas. It's got enough to do.

lol, did i ever say it was the hub of the universe? no wonder you hate Boston, you must have been sick of living in the dumpiest city in New England and hearing about it all the time from Bostonians. Worcester is the scummiest, lamest city in the world, no wonder you prefer Vegas over Boston. and while downtown Chicago is slightly better than Boston, and has a better bar/party scene, the surrounding areas of Boston are INFINITELY better. The oceans> The lake. Boston suburbs> Chicago suburbs. Boston sports> Chicago sports. Boston history> Chicago history. Boston vacation spots (Martha's vineyard, cape cod, nantucket)> Chicago vacation spots (Wisconsin?) Boston location (new england! 3 hours from new york)> Chicago location (midwest, lol) Boston colleges> Chicago colleges. Boston hospitals> Chicago Hospitals. I can't blame you for hating Boston, as you must have had 13 years of excruciating jealousy of your neighbor to the east.

this guy is clearly, ridiculously, bitter.

who's bitter? Chicagoans do not even consider Boston in the grand scheme of things. Chicago is the 2nd City, and I assure you it isn't to Boston.

no offense, but that was the most depressing [censored] ive ever read. to think you have just wasted 6 years and are exactly where you started from...maybe worse

You could also say this about a huge percentage of the workforce at any given moment.

the 2nd-city was a nickname that Chicago gave itself when it used to be the 2nd largest city in America, now it's not, but call your city that if you like. chicago is a nice city, don't get me wrong. downtown is pretty great, but it's no Boston. Boston is a city of firsts. it is the oldest major city in America, first Church in America, first public park, first country club, first high school, first public school, first lighthouse, first public library, first subway and bus system, first college, oldest baseball park, the oldest and most coveted marathon in the world, the first chocolate mill. I literally could go on for pages about Boston's firsts. we are home to the world-famous new england falls, and summer destinations within a short drive. skiing in the winter. our seafood is world renown. o ya, you may call yourself "the 2nd city" but Boston is "the HUB!" Boston is the smartest city in the world, not-debatable. more than 250,000 students attend college in Boston (at some of the best colleges in the world) My high school was represented by the most countries of any school in the the US, and my town is the most economically diverse in the US. it is the second biggest stop for refugees from opressive countries. oh yea, I guess Boston isn't that important in the "grand scheme of things" unless you are glad we are a country free of British rule. Maybe you forgot about "one if by land, two if by sea," Paul Revere, the Boston Tea Party and all that. I guess you're not much for history or appreciating the city that paved the way for your city. Chicago is a real international port there, and America just wouldn't be the same without it?!? Boston was the most important city until the mid 1800's. Things would not be the same today were it not for Boston, and it reflects in the city and it's culture today. clearly you have never been to Boston, and I have surely been to chicago. please sir, return to your cookie-cutter suburb and stick to w/e it is you do best, because it's certainly not defending your city.

the scenery is really ugly within 15-20 miles of the city

Not to be a super-nit, but Red Rocks Canyon is just outside Vegas and is stunning. In fact, it has become one of the top "winter destination" rock climbing areas in the world. (BTW - I love Boston.)

Also, good luck Dynasty I hope this year you break through in a big way.

Dynasty,

Sorry to hear about your dad, that was really sad. How old was he?

Congrats on making it through six years. As far as whether your story is depressing or inspirational, one simple question for you. Are you enjoying being a poker pro in vegas?

I have lived in Boston all my life, and I have done some traveling and I don't know if we are the hub of the universe but we are far from crap, we are about the same age Cactus so I am speaking from a somewhat similar view but I have to disagree here, I am driver and at least 95% percent of the visitors here that I drive think Boston is wonderful, if you ever come here again although it sounds it like it would have to be by gunpoint, I would be glad to buy you a beer and maybe help soften your view of us.

Holy [censored] you guys had the first country club, what a selling point!

Most of the stuff in your post looks good in a brochure and is about completely meaningless, but Boston is still a cool town. Its just the PEOPLE... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
