For me, Boston was a revelation, I always wanted to visit it and it exceeded my expectations!…read more It is big, with so many things to do and see. I packed a lot in four days. I wanted to stay longer but hotels are so expensive! The only downside! Public transportation is pretty good, it makes it easy to get around everywhere you need to go! Weather could be iffy even in the summer, so be flexible. The vibe of the city is more European with lots of history around, many firsts in US- public park, subway system, botanical gardens, etc. I loved the famous campuses in town - BU, Harvard. Stayed in Cambridge area. Lots of historical sites, did the Freedom Trail, loved it, learnt a lot (I've been reading more history books since then). Loved the parks and public spaces - Boston Common and Public Garden among them. Major sites - Newbury street, Kenmore Square, Copley Plaza, Back Bay are great to visit. Loved Beacon Hill old area. Great views over the Boston Harbor and the Esplanade on Charles River! Great art museums- Isabella Gardner Museum was a joy to visit and MFA is rich in art offering! Chinatown is a great neighborhood to visit and so is the historic North End. Great food, lots of cafe-s, restaurants, breweries. Didn't have time to shop, but there are some nice bookstores and loved the visitor centers! And I feel like I barely scratched the surface! Sports aren't my thing, but there are famous venues around. I'd love to come back one day, dig deeper, visit more. Lots left to be explored. My husband lived here in college and was a bit down on Boston, but this visit improved his perception. Lively, clean, easy to get around and orient yourself, not very crowded. Lots of American history with an European vibe and esthetic. Unique city that has lots to offer to visitors!

From the depths of a swamp, the inspection of Boston begins with an unexpected surprise!…read more May 1, 1822, the city of Boston was governed by a Mayor and Council . The roots of Boston go as far back as the Puritans looking for their new home . Many early settlers made their way here because Salem, Mass was too crowded. Then the battles with water shortages, disease, sanitation, and culture theory were a few things that they battled and then figured out . What's not to love here? The people of this great city generate love and happy as you admire the beauty all over the place. The rich history here is at every turn. Now the best way to see and celebrate this city is to walk . The traffic here is so bad. So get out and enjoy the surroundings of a new place. Those who are here, how it has changed from a book. When we visited every other corner a "protest was apparent." It was controlled and peaceful too. The individuals that wanted to voice their opinions did not riot or make others feel uncomfortable. We were asked to join in but we were on a time limit. We were not afraid to walk around the city and see what Boston was all about. The roots of religion and culture surrounding the holy word were ingrained into the ancient traditions of the founders. In fact they wanted to keep and create a controlled environment where religion and the people were allowed to exist is certain boundaries. If you violated these rules you could be punished. Even shunned. It was not anyway but the religious way that was dictated. One great example of this religious ideology was the belief to educate the people. The higher institutions of thought were created. In fact it still stands today. It's the school of Harvard. Now let's move forward to the new age of social media and how we see the world. It's the year 2026, let us not waste our time for the individuals of Boston are truly progressive. In fact all is protected! Whatever form of love you choose it's great? In fact it was the first city to guarantee equality for all in 1989. The idea of marriage passed for same sex couples in 2004. Why is this important, it's not but the idea of hope and "getting along," exists here . Remember love, in whatever form wins!

Downtown Providence is my favorite City; maybe I'm biased because I was born there. As a teenager, I loved taking the city bus to the Providence Place Mall, then hanging out at the Waterplace Park. Once I was in college, I would frequent Thayer St., the East side, and Wickenden St. often. I was always hanging out with my friends, at one of my favorite dive bar/club, Club Hell; they had 80s nights on Tuesdays, goth nights on Wednesdays, and Rock & Roll nights on Fridays. Providence is definitely a foodie city with tons of good eats. On a warm day, just take a walk around; lots of history and beautiful architecture. The new pedestrian bridge is also a lovely addition. There are many events that goes on, Waterfire is a popular one. It is home to some notable colleges such as Brown University, Providence College, Rhode Island School of Design, and Rhode Island College (my alma mater!) If you go to Federal Hill, there are some good restaurants and bars; home to the best Italian food. If you want to be one with nature, go to Roger Williams Park and Zoo. Overall, definitely a fun little city and gem in my eyes.

Not a single sign up and down any street about on campus concerning No overnight parking without a permit. Although there are signs every 10 feet about 3 hour limit they couldn't be troubled to post about that so they can fine visitors.

Also was they actually have it posted at the entrances to town, but I couldn't be giving an example of where to find one.

(see…read moreBoston RMV review) I'm not exactly sure that the Cambridge City Clerk's office is normally a high traffic area, but as I understand it, anything having to do with the city or state requires a minimum 2 hour wait and donation of your non dominant hand's pinky finger. We were there to get a domestic partnership (not a marriage. Lets be clear) because since Health insurance is required now (gripe mumble gripe) well you know. Anyway, since my company is national, they offer health benies to domestic partners. Thus we found ourselves at City Hall. We walked in. No Line... We were helped right away and with a smile..... We filled out the paperwork, raised our right hand, said we were telling the truth, and didn't have to show any documentation whatsoever........ We were in and out in 5 minutes. WHAT?!?!?! Not complaining, just baffled. The clerk also told us that our license/documentation or whatever would be in the mail tomorrow, but we'll see if that happens. So now we are happily partnered in domesticity, I didn't waste my entire day, we both have all our fingers and health insurance in case we do lose one. Sweet. EDIT: Our paperwork did indeed arrive that Saturday, and retains its 5 star rating.

"The One and Only Brattleboro" - Town motto…read more I spent a pleasant day here in Brattleboro, including taking a tour of the municipal center. The current city hall building was built in 1884 in a Gothic Revival architecture and actually served as the city's high school until 1951. It's right next to the library and there is paid parking behind if you have city business. There is also a Level 2 EV charger. The town is named after Colonel William Brattle, Jr. though there are no records that he ever visited the area. It is located in southeastern Vermont and borders New Hampshire.
