To be a Bostonian means to carry pride and a heavy heart. Boston, a city that is not as big as New York City, but is just the perfect size and has a population with so many different components. Being a Bostonian means dealing with many misconceptions, but here are some of the best true facts from a Bostonian herself.
SOME people have Boston accents.
For those that don't know, the accent sounds like no one knows how to sound their R's. Not everyone has accents, and to be honest it seems like a majority of the population of Boston doesn't (unless your family has lived in Boston for generations).
We are proud of our history.
A city that is not as big as others, Boston is well known for their historical landmarks. Throughout the year (especially during the summer), Boston host hundreds of tourists who stop by and visit the Freedom Trail and much more.
Everything is walking distance.
Since Boston is not a large city, you can visit most parts of Boston in one whole day. You can walk from Faneuil Hall to Downtown Crossing in minutes. Afterwards, you can visit Newbury Street, which a long street with many stores to shop.
We are a college city.
A handful of top colleges are located in Boston, which makes the city filled with college students. The hustling atmosphere during the school year makes the city a hotspot.
We have the best sports teams.
Celtics, Red Sox, Bruins and Patriots. Enough said.
We have amazing views.
During the night, the lights will shine for an iconic city view. But during the day, you can stop by the Boston Harbor and enjoy the view of the water.
We are Boston strong.
Boston is not only amazing for their landmarks and tourist characteristics but because of the people. We all come together when needed, and no matter what Boston will always be our number one home.
