Perhaps you grew up in Boston or spent your college years here and have since moved away – after all, the demands of jobs and family can sometimes take us to unexpected places. If that’s the case, you probably feel the tug of longing or find yourself eager to reminisce with other ex-Bostonians. Many people are drawn back to the city because their love for Boston never quite dimmed. Whether you can’t conceive of living anywhere else or are questioning the decision to move away, here are just 17 reasons why your heart may always be in Boston:
1. Smelling traces of ocean on the air and catching the squawk of seagulls, even when you’re in the middle of the city.
3. Embracing your inner nerd because Boston is filled with smart people and being here inspires your curiosity and desire to learn. When your library is this gorgeous who wouldn’t want to be a nerd?
It’s easy to love crisp white snow under a blue sky. Loving brown slush that soaks in your boots on your commute to work is harder. But we’re all in it together.
13. The number of Bostonians who deeply care about injustice at home and around the world.
