Larry Bird = Legend.
Though I live in New Haven county, I dont live in New Haven, and Milford is like 6 miles away from downtown NH............

Al half of the things you listed are true in any other major city in New England (change DD to Starbucks, a faded B hat to a bright brand new designer sideways NY hat.)
I must taken a wrong turn ahead of the "Unique reasons why Boston sucks" thread.
-
but your profile says you are from Arlington, MA......now if you were from Boston, wouldnt your profile say Boston, MA......yet another stupid thing about Boston.....people who live 20 miles outside of Boston proper think they live in Boston.....come on now Meliss....
i have lived in 4 different cities/towns all within 5 miles of downtown boston.
it\'s a 15-20 minute drive downtown cause i have to take **** up ways there.
i\'m actually from new york. bronx and then a mile away in yonkers, to be exact.
bronx is technically actually new york city, but not really, cause it\'s further away from downtown than where i live now.

every borough of New York City has multiple zip codes. I can walk two blocks in any direction and be in a different zip code.
I\'ve lived in small towns and they just bored me to tears after a couple of years. In the last couple of weeks here in New York I have seen shows by Mission of Burma and Blue Oyster Cult, a gallery exhibit of Picasso paintings alongside paintings by the American painters he influenced, and a snowboarding exhibition set up in a local park with a man-made hill and man-made snow. I can\'t imagine moving back to a small town until I retire.
Here is my reason Boston sucks - The T stops running before the bars close!
Now THAT is a good reason.
I can drive to a city to see any of those things. I\'m less than an hour from Boston and only 4 from NYC. And... I get to walk my dog daily throgh forests, around lakes, and by waterfalls, I breathe clean air, I see bright stars, and at the end of the day, I fall asleep listening to crickets and tree frogs. I could go on, but you get my point.

I concur.
Actually... wouldn\'t want to live in ANY city.
-
I wouldn\'t want to live in any city....
towns with less than a thou heads suit me best. Where my woods at?
-
boston and new york: great places to visit, awesome places to see a show. Would never want to live in either one of them.
-
i live here, it\'s definitely not the greatest city, and driving sucks, but if you look around you can find a good, cheap, place to live.
and yeah there are a lot of people who do suck here, but you just gotta look around to find the good ones, like most other cities. luckily there are enough people here to do so.
there are good bars and places to go that don\'t suck.
instead of trying to point out all the shitty things about some place try to find a few good things and enjoy it while you\'re there.
my favorite thing about boston:
walking along the charles river to the public gardens when its warm
...thats about it for now, i\'ve lived here for my 4th year , i\'m still looking for cool things to do (besides the lame obvious things like newbury st etc...). i still have a love/hate relationship w/ this town
ps: arlington isnt 20 miles away from boston, its more like 10, GET IT RIGHT GENCS.
pps: do you really think connecticut is that much cooler than here? pssh! haha
-
because it has both the Red Sox and Celtics
-
Those people just wish they lived in Boston.
-
The NY burroughs definitely have their own zip code.....
I know it doesnt really matter......just being an ****......this message board and holly bring out the worst in me ;)
-
Do the burroughs all have their own zipcodes?
If so, who cares what terminology is used to describe the area? I don\'t think it\'s very different from any other big city.
-
Well NYC has 5 burroughs........Does boston consider its surrounding cities burroughs? if so, then that is cool and i retract my statement.....However if they dont, I stand uncorrected...

Those damned peacots are truely annoying, but I notice them much more in NY than Boston. (With square-toed shows)

:D :D :D
thats great!
i havent spent enough time there to know why it sucks. my only complaint relates to the obvious thing about the streets being impossible to navigate. they should\'ve taken notes in manhattan ... wait they were there 1st, nevermind.
Oh, and I couldn\'t find any place that served tea at set break. that sucked.
there are a couple places but not on that road. you have to go out over that little bridge it\'s basically college town outside that area. i\'m getting used to the driving, i just look for the big Citgo sign and follow my way from there. it was a lot worse with all the detours and all that during the big dig construction but it has gotten ALOT better.

1. breakfast shows actually draw a crowd other than dot infoers....

Meatheads don\'t wear hats.

their road system sucks. you could be driving in a straight line (which is rare to begin with) and all of a sudden you are on a different street.
\'hey, where\'d you pahk the kah?\'
\'not too fah from the bah, down near hahvad yad.\'
yeah, that too.
-
If the "Why Boston doesn\'t suck" thread existed, I\'d have plenty to post over there as well.
Without further ado
Why Boston sucks:
-Meatheads with deplorable accents and expressionless faces
-Dunkin Donuts culture
-black pea coats
-every meathead wears the same faded "B" hat
-old tenement apartments that are expensive to rent.
-high cost of living, yet salaries seem to trail other expensive cities (NYC, SF, LA)
-Ted Kennedy
-The Big Dig money pit, and the never-ending cost revisions (upward)
-gun buybacks (grandmothers turning in rusty guns from their attics does not take them off the streets, out of the hands of criminals)
-too much fascination with Foxwoods, Keno, scratch tickets
To be continued.....
