BOSTON INFORMATION |
 |
Rich, elite, provincial, Boston has Old
World airs mixed with New World arrogance and proudly trades on its
colonial and political past. But it's got charm, energy and power
too: a meeting place for moneyed New Yorkers heading north, backyard
to the Kennedy clan and the New England aristocracy. Towering
skyscrapers stand beside historical cultural outposts to merge past
and present, best seen in places like Quincy Market and the cafés,
bars and shops of downtown. Boston is the largest city in
Massachusetts and unofficial capital of the region known as New
England. Boston is one of the oldest, wealthiest, and most
culturally significant large cities in the United States. Its
economy is based on education, health care, finance, and technology.
Foxboro is located 30 minutes southwest of Boston.
