Outta There!

Leaving Boston was one of the best things I’ve ever done in my life. Even better would be forgetting I’d ever been there. Boston has a lot of great features (solid public transportation system, interesting museums, history, variety, parks, and so on) but it’s the most segregated and alienating place I’ve ever lived.
To be unreasonably fair, I’ve been told that Boston can be a wonderful place to live if everyone in your family has grown up there for several generations back, or you fit exactly into one of its segregated communities. One of my informants says the African American community is particularly warm—to other African Americans.
