mind the walrus posted:Boston was oddly the first city where I experienced some deep dish racism and classism. Do you know how bad you have to be to beat New York? gently caress I bet half of those lobster-eaters would consider that a point of loving pride. for real the northeast has transcended racism when you've been so racist for so long that you're a pro and everyone else is and it's out in the open, no one cares anymore

I have to go to Boston about 2 - 3 times per year. Just often enough to remind me why I stay the Hell out.

I lived in Boston for 4 years while attending college and I had lots of horrible anxiety and panic problems during that time. It was dark, and I don't like to remember it. (I wanna commission a huge billboard on the mass. turnpike with this quote and a photo of me looking out a window at a rainstorm.)

Joining the thread late to say that Y-Hat and indeed all New Yorkers can just gently caress right off, ok that's all I had  also the Boston craft brew scene is the tits. It has spoiled me. I went to Vermont last weekend and was all psyched to try theirs because I'd heard really good things but it turns out that if you don't like IPAs Vermont in the summer has basically nothing for you. Except cider. Cider was good.

JakeP posted:it got mad gentrified and is a fancy place to live now JP was a ghetto type place, then it was colonized by lesbians, and now it is a fancy place. This happens in a lot of cities (Seattle comes to mind) -- gay people have good taste in restaurants etc and that brings in the rich people.

Has anyone mentioned sports yet, usually in threads where people talk poo poo about Boston someone mentions sports within like five posts but people are more attached to 60-year-old racism in this one Did you know that in the 1950s and 60s this place in America had a lot of racists in it?

The "luxury apartments" are already rolling in. JakeP posted:I am talking about the ones that are right on the pike, not the ones on exits.

Um excuse me sir but you see, racism is very popular and people love to be very racist all the time so that other people identify them as racists and ruin their lives and reputations. Racism is the "norm", so to speak, but people who are brave and virtuous enough are speaking out against it these days. loquacius posted:Allston is gentrified-lite, as in it has tons of hipsters but they're all college students etc I do remember some pretty nice restaurants come to think of it. It was great having lots of money and not having to work cause I was in college... man those were the days.

I've honestly never really listened to the other station, maybe I should. I've only been out here 15 months so far, but whenever I listen to the other sports station it just sounds like old lame dudes chatting

It's a Baltic porter and it is my favorite Boston beer. also maybe look up bars on the Internet before you go to them, this is a Travel Tip I learned the hard way when I went to London, wandered into whatever pub was nearby and seemed to have decent atmosphere, and was shocked to find out that each and every one of them only had ESBs on tap
