My View of Boston
Filed Under (Uncategorized) by Estee on 23-03-2009
I went to Boston. My step-son studies film in Boston. I love Boston. Here, I do not talk about autism. Autism is, perhaps, indirect — I am a mom of an autistic person looking at things a little differently. Maybe the way Adam looks at things has inspired me to look a little more closely. Here are my impressions of Boston:

ESTÉE KLAR
TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA
Writer/Curator/Founder of The Autism Acceptance Project. Lecturer on autism & the media, and parenting. Graduate student Critical Disability Studies, York University. I like to write about our journey, musings, attitudes towards autism.
When we first came to the States with GEC Plessy Semiconductors we had a choice between Boston and San Jose. Guess where we ended up?
Boston??
Should have gone for Boston Maddy.
Been once… need to go back.
And there is the famous Boston Stump of course.
(I am talking about the original Boston here)
Boston is nothing special. Of course people from the area think so. But it is very insular and cold (literally and figuratively). So many students leave after graduating for this reason. Much can be done to make it a better place for all but the lifers (those who have lived nowhere else and are too scared to explore other regions) seem to like it just the way it is. Bostonians, you’re missing out. Outsiders, you’re not missing much.
M,
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Granted, I was just visiting.
hurm. I love Boston. I love it more than New York. It’s so much more comfortable to me than NY for some reason.
Perhaps because the subways are less scary and it’s a bit less crowded.
The buildings are also very lovely and many of them are old and it’s near Cambridge and has a nice sort of feel to it.
