I'm from Boston and have been to several European cities. Although I can see why they say it's America's most European city...it's still very much an American city.
Boston is okay. I wouldnt go so far as to compare it with any major European City though. Great Art Museum and very walkable and good for people like me who live out in the sticks in new england where it sucks. New Hampshire fucking sucks.
@PoppingSanta than how can you say that a city is "to european`' thats really dum. Im sorry
the fact that you live in sweden makes it even more stupid. let me give you a few examples of a few european city's: barcelona, amsterdam, berlin, rome prague and many many more. really nothing "boring" about that.
Why am I not surprised that an American tells me what is European and what isn't. Barcelona and Berlin are not even close to being the same. The cities in Europe are all very varied.
And what about living in Sweden makes it more stupid?
I am not saying that barcelona and berlin are the same, I'm just saying that these are beautifull EUROPEAN city's and that they are not BORING. And to anwser your question: living in sweden means that you have to KNOW that these city's are beautifull and not boring because you are fucking close to these citys. i would have forgiven you this if you were an `'ignorant american`' who knows nothing about the world. so next time, look closer to what i'm saying instead of correcting my spelling.
I know that everybody has an opinion about everything, But i haven't spoken to anyone who thinks that european city's are boring. Im not sure HOW you can say that and i think a lot of people will have the same question. BTW im not USED to north american city's. i have lived in the netherlands and i have seen a lot of europe. calling it boring is the most stupid thing i have ever heard and that is MY OPINION. unless you do nothing while you are there but lets just finish this discussion......
I started to cry. Moving to the East coast means so much to me... I'm from California. A girl who's been my friend and crush for a large portion of my life is moving to NY to attend NYC...
I feel like the Great Gatsby... compelled to move East to be with her.
in all honesty.. what other city in all of America is as beautiful as Boston ? As much as I love San Francisco it cant match Boston.. you did a great job showing the city here and your choice of music was very nice and classy ( as the city it scored here )
I wish as much of Old City Philadelphia was saved as Boston's was. The parts that are are beautiful and the city is larger but a large section of the buildings of architectural significance were surrendered to the ghetto. On Broad Street which is the main thoroughfare in the city the street is lined with old big victorian and colonial houses and large buildings that were once beautiful but are now in disrepair. It's depressing. The closer you get to Center City the nicer it gets though.
boston is in my heart- but obviously there were other usa cities founded+set up+arranged+functioned by european colonists also.maybe only thing that sets central boston apart is the very londony skinny winding streets [well not backbay].meaning if you take central philadelphia's straight grid streets and squiggle them all up, youd have another mini-london in the usa besides boston. and how about baltimore?neworleans?etc
The lifestyle in boston is second to non in my opinion (although i do live there and am generally very bias towards boston). Very energectic, lively city with deep rooted tradition. Boston will more then likely open up so many opportunities many people dont have..
peggy, what specifically do you mean? boston is full of culture, the arts, sports, education, music & a city alive with history, right out of text books.
it is charming & easy to get around. one can literally walk from one end to the other in a couple of hours, but still you would only see a fraction of it's charm.
the winters can be cold (today it's around 0 degrees) but the springs...ahhhh the springs are a joy from the gods. our summers are not to be missed.
boston..the culture is hard to explain. I moved away, my family was there since the landing of plimouth rock. There are the bramins (wealthy speaking) and the regular blue collar folk. there is a irish/italian community. The best food, the community, the looking out for each other. I was raised old fashioned and proper. Most of us were. The history is nothing you would get out of a text book. The start of our USA was there. Boston yer my home! :)
@toolover10 actually if you look at history that is the original spelling. It was changed later on. go look it up! I choose to use the original spelling.
this will go a long way as to whether one should take you seriously or chalk your comments up to ignorance, jealousy and pure hate that probably pervades every aspect of your life.
I loved watching this video, I am from Boston and you captured it's true beauty. Thie pictures of the Redline, lighthouses and the snow....Ohhh my beautiful city!
Theres a video of mine coming soon to Youtube. Its a recording of Bostonians on a Saturday night from all different walks of life giving their views and party pieces on camera.
It was recorded on Oct 2001. If people subscribe you will see it when i have it posted. Believe me! its well worth the watch and its never been seen by the public
I miss a lot this gorgeous, cozy, cultural, beatuful town! I lived there for four years while attending college and working. Now I live in São Paulo - Brazil, a city that feels more like NYC. Boston I miss you a lot, even going thought tough times, prejudice against international students actually do bug you after some time. But I hope to get back for a visit together with all my college buds from Brazil!!
Nice job with the video ... great music selection too. What other American City even comes close to the beauty of Boston ? NONE. Its also a very classy city . I love , love, love, Boston
Boston is the most progressive city, in the most progressive state , in the most progressive area in the country. And we Bostonians LOVE it and we are VERY proud of our politics and our gays ;-) lol
There are 3 cities where Europe meets America (as continent). 1)Montreal , 2) Boston and 3) Buenos Aires. Watch "Buenos Aires tango slideshow" here in Youtube and you'll see why this city is known as "Paris in America".
well i'm not sure what u expect here in boston my european friend. its mostly small brick buildings, seafood, and everybody caring too much about sports.
I miss it really. I moved 3100 miles away. I grew up with all of this. The culture is very different from the west coast. Ever since moving away from boston I have felt displaced. It is much better than LA in my opinion. Boston is a wonderful place to live.
I'm proud to live in Boston and even happier that the city resembles European cities. I plan on studying in European when I go off to college but Boston will always have a warm place in my heart. :D
I don't know why people say that Boston belongs to Europe or that it is a piece of Europe in America. Obviously Boston is old enough to resemble those older cities in Europe, but its charm is entirely American.
Mind the fact that America is not the Midwest. The Midwest is as much a part of America as New England is. Not less, not more. So I don't see why New England should be considered less American or more European. It simply has a quaint feeling that the rest of the country doesn't have.
It looks a lot like a European city. which is a good thing. A lot of European cities are really clean. Not like the piece of shit city I live in Phoenix. I want to move to Boston once I get good money or Portland, Maine anywhere in New England. To me it's the most beautfiul part of the United States.
But there are cleaner cities than Boston in North America, not necessarily being more European-looking. I agree in that, being an old city, Boston does resemble does capitals in the Old Continent, but that doesn't mean that it is less American than Minneapolis or Austin ;)
Oopsie, I apologize. It is entirely my fault, actually. I was a little, how can I put it, predisposed to debate as I was reading the comments on this video. Sorry!!!! :$
Boston is a magnificent city and my home. It is by far one of the nicest cities in america.
We have our own distinct culture. And the reason for our similarities to europe is... Europe is old. Boston was formed in the early 1600's, it's old too. So naturally, they'd look similar.
Boson has in a lot of instances been compared to London England. In fact the 2 cities are very much alike. Alot of ppl say that it is the closest you can get to London, without actually going there...
im from southwestern connecticut, so its not a big difference, but I liked the historical presence throughout the city, the liberalism, and the intellectual feel
well being from southwestern connecticut, you come from another very, very beautiful part of new england (sans the congestion of being close to NYC...another real jewel of america). the small suburban towns in your area are nothing but charming. you're fortunate to live there too!
we are all blessed to live here, and i personally hope you come visit boston as often as you can. our arms are open and anxious to welcome you here again.
As you wish, mhesi. You might also consider returning to the hellhole of your ancestors who spawned you. But, that would probably be the same as your going to hell. Good idea on your part. It's "Commonwealth", not common wealth, mong.
I might consider it, but that hellhole would be Britain, so I'd have to decline. And had your ancestors treated mine with dignity and respect, we might have still been part of the Commonwealth.
You don't sound British to me, nor like someone who has British antecedents, given that you call GB "that hellhole". Where are your ancestors from? Originally, that is? Not that it really matters.
Sorry if you can't pick up my ancestral British accent in my typed post. Goes with the territory, I guess. Originally? I'd have to say the plains of East Africa.
What in anything I have said or posted indicates that I would prefer Sharia? And why are you so hatefully obsessed with Islam? I would agree that in many ways Islam is archaic, but there are over a billion Muslims on the planet. You're going to have to deal with that. The last thing we need is for people like you to spread discontent and create an even bigger rift than there already is between the west and Islam.
mhesi, I don't need to raise a finger to "spread discontent and create an even bigger rift" because Izlam is doing it all by itself. Incidentally, there are over two billion Christians on the planet, 1.5 billion of which are Catholic. And you, mhesi, "will have to deal with that".
Constable! I just added this vid to my list of favourites. I've run into friends on the streets of Boston, but only rarely on YT. There are indeed some excellent Italian restaurants in Boston. Cheers!
I love Boston very very much! My favorite city in the USA! I really love this video not just because this it's my favorite city in the US but also because it reminds me a lot of Europe and it makes think alot about Italy (where i'm from) and also about UK and France :-). Any way...thank you for this awesome video and also good taste of music!
hi.cromespyder.i have been through new england from new york to canada holiaying in boston new hampshire vermont buffalo.and into onterio,it was just magic.people citys awesome. i live 20 miles from cardiff south wales.a town called pontypridd. the most famous person to come from here is tom jones .the video of boston is fantastic..toptennor
you are from the uk right? you think boston is better than london? ive never been to london so i can't judge but london seems very very popular so i couldn't see how..
yes i am from the uk,wales as a matter of fact believe me i have been to london several times but only twice to boston in 2001 and 2006.believe me its better than london.the people were nicer, with less crime.are you from the usa.
thx for your reply toptennor. yeah im from boston. even though im not well traveled, i know no other place in the world could hold such a deep place in my heart. the charm,people, history, culture, architecture, seasons. it's just perfect for me. but im suprised though that anyone from the uk would prefer boston to london, which is considered one of the top world class cities from what i know.
Thankyou for this excellent video, which I really enjoyed. I am a European who spent two wanderfull years, studing in Boston. Your video brought many rememberances to my mind. It actually reflects everything in Boston. Nothing is missing, including my favourite place... Quincy Market. I love the music.
gatsby, im glad you liked boston. but you, as a european feel boston is a european-like city? btw, did you like downtown crossing? not many walking streets like that in US cities.also,where did you study? take care.
Well of course. We were once Part of England. So we would look the same. I am sure history had taught you before we were America. If you look closely at landmarks you will see phrases like, "Mother England" or "to the King"
lol.. we are the USA and always be. the way that the war started and ended. There are historians that ponder this. Did we really get our freedom from England? It was more of a cute answer than a serious one :)
Boston, even though I haven't been there yet, is probably my favorite American city. I love the accent, the architechture and the history. I would really like to visit it someday :)
Yeah it's good but walk or take a cab. Driving in Boston is pure hell.
Newbury street or the North End are great places to eat. Charlestown,Cambridge & Southie are really nice but stay away from Dorchester! If nature's your thing try the blue hills just a few miles(we don't do kilometers)south of town. But watch out for rattlesnakes! That's right,rattlesnakes.
well helluvaguy, you should have seen the south end in the 60's and 70's. now, that was a bad area, but it now is one of the wealthiest parts of the city. jamaica plain is coming up in respect too. but dorchester, once full of crime is quickly changing. give it a few more years, and it will be hard to afford to live there too! btw some of the homes there, especially in wellesley square, are beautiful.
you really gotta get a life theatheistgal. i worked in harvard sq for years. i know what the common is.
this is just an expression to demonstrate our accent.
not everyone needs to be reminded what havad yad is. and only the ignorant try to instruct everyone without having a clue as to the meaning of the statement.

well corocco1, i'd love to get your impression of boston. and where are you from? hope you liked it.
wntoply6 2 years ago
im from southwestern connecticut, so its not a big difference, but I liked the historical presence throughout the city, the liberalism, and the intellectual feel
Corocco1 2 years ago
well being from southwestern connecticut, you come from another very, very beautiful part of new england (sans the congestion of being close to NYC...another real jewel of america). the small suburban towns in your area are nothing but charming. you're fortunate to live there too!
we are all blessed to live here, and i personally hope you come visit boston as often as you can. our arms are open and anxious to welcome you here again.
peace my fellow new englander!

This is ridiculous. America really needs to let bygones be bygones and come home to the Commonwealth.
Greenleanings 3 years ago 2
Come home to the common wealth? I'd rather go to hell.
mhesi 3 years ago
As you wish, mhesi. You might also consider returning to the hellhole of your ancestors who spawned you. But, that would probably be the same as your going to hell. Good idea on your part. It's "Commonwealth", not common wealth, mong.
Greenleanings 3 years ago
I might consider it, but that hellhole would be Britain, so I'd have to decline. And had your ancestors treated mine with dignity and respect, we might have still been part of the Commonwealth.
mhesi 3 years ago
You don't sound British to me, nor like someone who has British antecedents, given that you call GB "that hellhole". Where are your ancestors from? Originally, that is? Not that it really matters.
Greenleanings 3 years ago
Sorry if you can't pick up my ancestral British accent in my typed post. Goes with the territory, I guess. Originally? I'd have to say the plains of East Africa.
mhesi 3 years ago
It just dawned on me that you would prefer Sharia. Silly me.
Greenleanings 3 years ago
What in anything I have said or posted indicates that I would prefer Sharia? And why are you so hatefully obsessed with Islam? I would agree that in many ways Islam is archaic, but there are over a billion Muslims on the planet. You're going to have to deal with that. The last thing we need is for people like you to spread discontent and create an even bigger rift than there already is between the west and Islam.
mhesi 3 years ago
mhesi, I don't need to raise a finger to "spread discontent and create an even bigger rift" because Izlam is doing it all by itself. Incidentally, there are over two billion Christians on the planet, 1.5 billion of which are Catholic. And you, mhesi, "will have to deal with that".
Greenleanings 3 years ago
I'm catholic, so I shouldn't have too hard a time dealing with it.
mhesi 3 years ago
You don't sound British and you don't sound Catholic. I'm both. Incidentally, "Catholic" is spellt with an upper-case "C" for your future reference.

One of the best meals I've ever eaten was at Giacomo's Ristorante, in the North End.
Butternut squash ravioli & a bottle of d'Abruzzo with dessert. Perfect food. Perfect company. Perfect night. Perfect trip. I'll never forget it :-)

I love Boston very very much! My favorite city in the USA! I really love this video not just because this it's my favorite city in the US but also because it reminds me a lot of Europe and it makes think alot about Italy (where i'm from) and also about UK and France :-). Any way...thank you for this awesome video and also good taste of music!

yes i am from the uk,wales as a matter of fact believe me i have been to london several times but only twice to boston in 2001 and 2006.believe me its better than london.the people were nicer, with less crime.are you from the usa.
toptennor 3 years ago 3
thx for your reply toptennor. yeah im from boston. even though im not well traveled, i know no other place in the world could hold such a deep place in my heart. the charm,people, history, culture, architecture, seasons. it's just perfect for me. but im suprised though that anyone from the uk would prefer boston to london, which is considered one of the top world class cities from what i know.

btw, what brought your to boston? are there any other places you like in USA?
cromespyder 3 years ago 7
Thankyou for this excellent video, which I really enjoyed. I am a European who spent two wanderfull years, studing in Boston. Your video brought many rememberances to my mind. It actually reflects everything in Boston. Nothing is missing, including my favourite place... Quincy Market. I love the music.
Gatsby280207 3 years ago 2
gatsby, im glad you liked boston. but you, as a european feel boston is a european-like city? btw, did you like downtown crossing? not many walking streets like that in US cities.also,where did you study? take care.

Yes, I shall! Parts of Boston look like south London.
Greenleanings 3 years ago
Well of course. We were once Part of England. So we would look the same. I am sure history had taught you before we were America. If you look closely at landmarks you will see phrases like, "Mother England" or "to the King"
theatheistgal 3 years ago
And that's why, dear theatheistgal, America needs to come home to the Commonwealth!

We are Middlesex county, The commonwealth of MA. If you really want to dabble in history, technically England still ownes us.

Yeah it's good but walk or take a cab. Driving in Boston is pure hell.
Newbury street or the North End are great places to eat. Charlestown,Cambridge & Southie are really nice but stay away from Dorchester! If nature's your thing try the blue hills just a few miles(we don't do kilometers)south of town. But watch out for rattlesnakes! That's right,rattlesnakes.
1helluvaguy 3 years ago
What's wrong with Dorchester if I may ask? Is it the bad area of town?
tupacamaru2 3 years ago
Sure is.
1helluvaguy 3 years ago
well helluvaguy, you should have seen the south end in the 60's and 70's. now, that was a bad area, but it now is one of the wealthiest parts of the city. jamaica plain is coming up in respect too. but dorchester, once full of crime is quickly changing. give it a few more years, and it will be hard to afford to live there too! btw some of the homes there, especially in wellesley square, are beautiful.

Tbh Boston reminds me of Kyoto Japan.
