[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in MA. Not a lot of state pride. 
Lived 18 yrs in DC/MD. Same. 
Moved to CO 3 yrs ago- so much CO love all around and I totally get it now- it’s an awesome place to live from every angle. 
Not sure if that helps?  [/quote]

So many people from the Boston area have so much pride! Or maybe they just have pride in the sports teams?

[b]Bostonians seem to spend a lot of time comparing their city to New York. There is no comparison. New York usually forgets that Boston exists. [/quote][/b]

Ha, this is so true. I'm from NYC and Bostonians are quick to pick a fight. I just kind of hold my tongue or say something like, "I do like Boston" but it would never occur to me learn someone is from Boston and start comparing our two cities or say something like, "oooh, we're going to have beef!"

I don't have particular NY pride.  Most people say enthusiastic things, "I love NYC! I've always wanted to go to NY! Etc so feel no need to defend it. The few people who immediately start shit talking about how much they hate it and could never live there I just say it's not for everyone, which is true. Rural Nebraska is not for me. [/quote]

I love both cities for different reasons and it never occurred to me to compare anything (maybe sports?) between NY and Boston - nor anyone I know. No one cares, really - except those who are completely unfamiliar. [/quote]
