A few opening thoughts:
1. Boston is grossly underrepresented on this forum, so this is me trying to pick up some of the slack.
2. Two weeks from now and I'll have lived in Boston for four years!
3. The majority of Boston photos posted here are of the core downtown (tourist/visitor) areas (nothing wrong with that; I'm just stating a fact), so this thread, while definitely touching on those spots, will focus much more on what the average resident (e.g. yours truly) experiences.
4. These photos by and large are posted in chronological order, so you get the sense of haphazardly moving from one area to another, much like how the average resident (e.g. yours truly) moves around.
.
OK, enough mission statement blather, on to the photos!
