[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am also curious about this question.

What is quality of life like in Boston?

[b]Are people friendly?[/b]

What are some good family friendly areas to explore?[/quote]

Okay, this made me laugh! What an eyeopener you will have. I'm a Bostonian, and no, we are not friendly as a rule. I remember visiting a boyfriend's family in the midwest and freaking out after everyone at the stores talked to me. We are taciturn by nature. But genuine and once you find a rhythm, the people with our finnicky ways will grow on you. And you on them.[/quote]

I am the opposite: Midwesterner married to a Bostonian and I personally do not find his family to be taciturn. They are always voicing their unsolicited opinions and forgetting Boston is not the center of the universe. I think there is a Yankee Independence that I misinterpreted as selfishness but the approach is much different than midwestern collectivism. It is clannish like a previous poster mentioned. That said, we all get along and have grown into a rhythm as this poster suggests. It will not be a homey, friendly feeling though unless you find some transplants. [/quote]
