Hey, Boston is also the home of Cakewalk Music Software, Duxbury Systems, (well, close enough!), Berklee College of Music, Perkins School for the Blind, just to name a few. They do talk a bit funny up there but you can usually understand the natives.

Bostonian: SuhVival U.S. Survival I'll bet there's a place on the net that compares cost of living for major cities in the U.S. My impression of Boston when I visited was that it was definitely pricier than the Philadelphia area where we are.

Hi. I'm seriously considering moving to Boston. Perhaps this is sort of on topic because I'd be looking for music and radio work etc. Does anyone on the list live there or have you spent time there? Any feedback would be nice. Job market, public transport, music scene, etc? Thanks, Cameron. PLEASE READ THIS FOOTER AT LEAST ONCE!
