That's pretty much it.

That was a much nicer response from Scott than I expected. (I may or may not have thought about not asking this question for fear of some responses.)

My responses:
- My friends
- The Red Sox
- The general culture (I will always be a New Englander)
- Dunkin Donuts
- Watermelon beer at Beerworks
- The weather in the summer
- Its proximity to The Backroom (which is much better than DC.)

The over-hyped cannolis.

Also, the coined term: tea party. Thanks for that, assholes.

Beanu, the Dropkick Murphys are from Quincy.

1. Historic architecture
2. Good libraries
3. Wicked good shows at the Middle East
4. Aggressive drivers
5. Dunkin Donuts
6. It's not L.A.

That we are not NY. In your face Yankees, Knicks, and Jets.

the coffee

Leslie said...

I also love the architecture. Good one, Sean.

And until now I never realized that Beenu and Brian have the same initials. The question is - which one is more likely to be awake and posting at 8:25a?

Kenneth said...

I would have to say the warmth, charm, and overall hospitality of the locals. That and the amazing seafood restaurant right on the docks.

I had a dream I was flying to Boston last night! Weird.

My favorite thing about Boston is CHEERS. Duh. And Sean Flannery. But he's from Worcester.

- Fenway,
- beating the Yankees,
- beating the Jets,
- beating every team that Scottie roots for,
- the coffee,
- real clam chowder (not that stupid red soup from Manhattan)
- Southie St. Patrick's Day
- Sam Adams Winter Lager
- Sam Adams Suymmer Ale
- That all the cool kids from QOTD are from the metro area
- Being able to partake in Bostonians while referring to them as Massholes when they drive down the break down lane on 93.
- The Kennedys

Andrew, you must have forgotten that I am from the Chicagoland area

I refuse to have anything to do with the other Boston because of Ben Affleck.

Sean said...

Ahhh, Kenneth! That's The No Name Restaurant, right? They don't have a sign, and they used to serve everything on Dixie plates and cups, and you had a choice of four drinks: water, milk, coffee or beer. So frickin good.
