Something you should also know about Boston is that certain
laws are a bit different. I discovered this from a local
taxi driver, whilst meeting red lights at what seemed like
every single intersection, on a race to catch a plane out of
Boston back home to the U.K.
I remarked that as I was in a hurry, this was Murphy's Law
licking in.
"Naw sur," he replied, "We don't have Murphy's Law in
Boston."
"Oh, what do you have then?" I asked.
"We have McGillicuddy's Law.", he said in that proud
Bostonian drawl.
"What's that then?"
"Murphy was a [expletive deleted] optimist!"
I can only add that having been a visitor to Boston a few
times, I have found the pace of life a little more relaxed
that say New York City, but then that would not be
difficult.
They do have good tea parties there too... (smile)

Hey, Boston is also the home of Cakewalk Music Software,
Duxbury Systems,
(well, close enough!), Berklee College of Music, Perkins
School for the
Blind, just to name a few. They do talk a bit funny up
there but you can
usually understand the natives.

I'll bet there's a place on the net that compares cost of
living for major
cities in the U.S. My impression of Boston when I visited
was that it was
definitely pricier than the Philadelphia area where we are.

Hi. I'm seriously considering moving to Boston. Perhaps
this is sort of on
topic because I'd be looking for music and radio work etc.
Does anyone on
the list live there or have you spent time there? Any
feedback would be
nice. Job market, public transport, music scene, etc?
Thanks,
Cameron.
