Rate This City: Day 19 - Boston

[UberEatsDriver]

Damn, I totally forgot that a few influential artists came out of Boston such as New Edition( Except Johnny Gill), Al B Sure, Aerosmith and MC Guru.

oh wow I always thought Al b sure was from Mt. Vernon but i guess he was just raised there but yea he was born in Boston

bro black Boston doesn't sound like that cmon breh, you know full well most of us have a new york accent to our speech

do the black people pronounce bar like Bah?

 

[P90]

Been here in Boston proper for 8 years now, took some getting used to for sure because it really is small city.

Reasonable places to go out, culturally good, food scene small but ok. Music scene with 0 cohesion real drawback. It’s a good place to work.

Covert racism is a bytch for sure liberal racists everywhere.

EDIT Boston brehs what’s good? Where you now?

 

[UpAndComing]

New Edition is my favorite singing group of all time

Patrice O'neal is in my Top 5 comedian list of all time

Another reason I love Boston

that music is half the reason why the party scene died. It's sad honestly

This summer and last summer was lit. I dunno what's going on this fall. My house starting to look more secure than going out

Gave it a 7.

Been meaning to visit, preferably during the fall so I can get that true New England natural experience mixed with top notch urbanity.

Very compact size city with classic urbanity and a unique street grid that’s reminiscent of London’s. Significant history and a lot of culture. Seems like a Cac Mecca but with a strong visible presence of Blacks, Latinx, Asians, etc.

Black population is very diverse with lots of ADOS, Haitians, Jamaicans, Cape Verdeans, West Africans, Dominicans, etc.

One of the better, more comprehensive public transit systems in the country. Revered for its walkability, ethnic enclaves, cultural institutions, and higher education institutions.

When it comes to food, you’ll most likely find some good ass Italian, Haitian, Seafood, Chinese, Dominican, English, Vietnamese, etc.

Those winters gotta be a bytch tho. As well as all those annoying Boston Cacs/Ma$$holes with their Family Guy sounding accents and rabid sports fanaticism

Underrated contributions to Hip Hop, R&B, New Jack Swing, and Rock tho.

Also, where Malcolm X spent his formative years (Roxbury, the “Harlem of Boston”) and where MLK went to college (Boston University).

It gets a lot of flack as an Irish cac city but is nearly a quarter black with a diverse black population.

you might be right cause I didn’t notice anything different......

but then again I met another group of black/Dominican Boston folks in manhattan and they were saying “bah” but I’m pretty sure they were making fun of white people.

Where are you from originally?

Boston is one of those cities I imagine is going to get poor ratings from people who actually never been there.

now as a New Yorker there is big beef between NY and Boston sport teams except for Basketball.

but even that sports rivalry is more of a Cac thing.

 

[Juggalo Fred]

I went to a GZA concert there last month and had a good time

 

[Mega]

I been there a few times and

I know they got mad black people but you barely seem them. They got black folks contained for real. Plus the city is dirty af. There sports fans are woat. A lot of history tho so I’ll give it a 4 instead of 3

Boston is far from being a dirty city.

Hell no

 

[GoAggieGo.]

a solid 8, if not for the fact i grew up here I would probably give it a 6.5-7
you went to the wrong area Boston is 26% black

EDIT; there is black people in mass yall just dont know where to look because you didn't grow up here. Boston is one of those cities where its tight knit families so if folks dont really know you like that they're not gonna really extend their hand to you

Got you.
I was in Boston of course, but my hotel was in Chelsea and I spent some time in Somerville and Dorchester.
