| I don't know if Boston is THE BEST city for mexicans, or latinos, but...I grew up in Boston, in Jamaica Plain...and it was pretty fun. I was the only caucasian kid in my class and everyone else was either latino or black. Boston is a beautiful city and can be somewhat diverse in parts. I've been able to use Spanish a lot, depending on where I work. |
Did you live near the Aboretum? |

Wow, Jamaica Plain and the Arboretum. I am getting misty-eyed. Boston is beautiful (mostly), but I know after going back again I will soon miss the wide frontier.
I mainly grew up in Allston. All I can say is that the Mexicans there didn't seem too upset. Then again, I didn't conduct a poll.

| You mean people can actually afford to live there? If the city of Boston is anything like its nearby state (Rhode Island), than I want nothing to do with Boston. (My dad lives in Rhode Island, and I find that a lot of people there like to flaunt their wealth.) |

| Yeah, the arboreteum, sigh. I had a tree there. It was my tree and my dad used to lift me up to sit in it all the time. There used to be many Elm trees in Boston before a disease took them. We lived behind Franklin Park when the zoo looked kind of like the Jeonju zoo here, very depressing. They had kite festivals and hot air balloon festivals in Franklin Park. We used to go walking around Jamaica Pond all the time. It was a cheap neighborhood when I was growing up, but its pretty expensive now. |

Well, most of the Boston denizens do have a crying need to learn English.
Just go to a REdSox game. |

Something like 35 percent of Bostonians had at least a Ph.D back in the '90s. Additionally, the city - and the New England region - is regarded as being home to an enormous amount of intellectuals and literary stars.
Were you poking fun of the blue collar accents of the Irish and Italians? If so, their accent is grating in comparison to the one employed by the W.A.S.P.s. |

Alright. |
He said "most of the Boston denizens". It's not "alright". He doesn't know what he is talking about, and therefore he should keep his silly opinion to himself. |
