I mean, realistically that’s mild compared to what some Bostonians would say if they saw them spell it that way.

This isn’t Boston or Reddit. No reason for people to be inflammatory

I worked at a brain trauma ward in Boston. I was running a study there so I wasn’t really on the staff.

One of the patients was missing a portion of his skull. He’d tilt his head and it would slosh like a waterbed.

He told me he’d been hit in the head with a metal pipe by a stranger … during the celebrations after the Red Sox won some championship.

So that should give you an idea about what Boston is like.

Tours of Fenway Park are cool even if you don’t like baseball. Good food in the area, too. Go to tasty burger for lunch.

Seconded. When I go to a Red Sox game, I park a mile or so away and walk to it; partially for cheaper parking, but also because I think the area surrounding is cool. The sights, smells and sounds of Yawkey Way right around the park are also amazing; though I’m sure I have plenty of nostalga baked into that.
