Boston has TONS of good things. Don't make me start listing. I'll take over Natter.
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Yes, yes, Boston has lots of great virtues. I love Boston. But even Pittsburgh could put up a list comparable to this...
The Museum of Fine Arts! The Symphony and the Pops! The Head of the Charles Regatta! Old North Church! Berklee School of Music! The Public Gardens!
But I can't think of many institutions which would qualify as the Most Important or Most Influential on the world stage, aside from Harvard (and all its many grad schools) and MIT. Which is not nothing as those institutions alone are massively important. But in most instances (publishing, finance, theater etc) it would have to defer to NYC, as San Francisco would have to defer to LA or Silicon Valley. (Not that long ago, SF could lay some claim as an important financial center but that was before BofA got hijacked and the Pacific Stock Exchange disappeared.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
