But one Boston resident is taking things a step further. George Aaron Cuddy Continue reading >>>

Every city contains a number of gorgeous neighborhoods, full of attractive housing options, successful storefronts and even some green areas in a sea of concrete. Boston, a seaside urban area seeped in history, is certainly no different. But how are some Bostonian communities able to remain esthetically pleasing?The simple answer is that some, like the Fairmount Corridor, see investments  from generous foundations. According to the Boston Business Journal, the Boston Foundation recently extended a $10 million pledge to this area, consisting of a 9.2 mile stretch along the Metro Boston Transit Continue reading >>>

It's hard to pinpoint the exact moment when Paul Pierce truly understood Boston and when the city came to embrace the kid from Inglewood, Calif., of all places, as one of our own. Some point to the aftermath of the 2000 stabbing incident in a long-departed downtown club when he went out and played 82 games after enduring wounds to his face, neck and back and undergoing surgery. Others point to the 2002 playoff comeback against the Nets when Pierce and Antoine Walker (mostly Pierce) whipped the Garden crowd into an unholy roar, punctuated by Pierce jumping on the scorers' table in an iconic Continue reading >>>

Two weeks ago, former BMJ editor Richard Smith blogged, “Is the New England Journal of Medicine anti-science?” Excerpts: “I don’t know why the New England Journal of Medicine doesn’t publish electronically all the letters it receives, but I can hypothesise. The Bostonian paragon is unashamedly elitist and committed to excellence and virtue, just like their colleagues in the city teased by Henry James in his novel The Bostonians. Presumably the editors of the journal don’t want to overload their readers with what they see as ill informed criticisms, but want to present them with Continue reading >>>

BOSTON is not a 'Crap Town', however it is being made crap by a small percentage of the population who have a distorted sense of entitlement and total disregard for their own actions. I have personally witnessed native Bostonians dropping litter two feet away from litter bins, throwing fag ends down wherever they like, collecting their dog poo into bags and throwing them into the nearest bush or not even bothering to collect it in the first place. Bostonians, who urinate in public places including children's playground areas, sit in those same playgrounds drinking alcohol in front of children. Bostonians Continue reading >>>
