I worked in Boston several times and enjoyed it. One company had its 
offices in a building off Memorial Drive next to the Charles. My office 
had a great view of the river. When they moved to the old Schrafft candy 
factory in Charleston it wasn't anywhere near as scenic. 

I liked walking around the city. I would rent a room and drive down from 
New Hampshire Sunday evenings, park the car, and then go back to Dover 
Friday afternoon unless there was some event over the weekend. I'm not 
sure if it was a weekend but one 4th of July they had fireworks in the 
harbor with Handel's Water Music simulcast on one of the FM stations. 

Like NYC it was fun but I wouldn't want to live there forever. In a way 
there was too much going on and it could be a time sink.
