[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hahaha of course Georgetown and Beacon Hill look similar. They substantially date from the same period, in which colonial architecture was developing localized styles (we call one of the dominant styles "Federalist!"). I think your expectations are not well grounded in architectural history.

Looking at Baltimore and the North End as sad examples of former immigrant neighborhoods is so foreign to me. That's what makes them interesting! Tons of the descendants of those immigrants still live in the suburbs of both.

Whatever you do, don't visit Philly or Pittsburgh. Or any of the old mill towns all over New England, including Providence, where i lived for a long time. You will hate them even more. [/quote]

Old mill town a convenient distance to major cities can be charming and beautiful. Old mill towns near nothing are some of the most depressing places in America. I love old New England towns with a historic downtown near a commons, but the dying towns are really sad. Personally, I think the most picturesque tend to be those with colleges that are rich enough to prop up the local economy [/quote]

New England has been in decline for the last 50 years.  The jobs, growth, and opportunities are in the south.[/quote]
