Here's what I see all across this great city - people working together to make Boston a better place to live and to raise children, to grow and pursue dreams.

Boston is actually the capital of the world. You didn't know that? We breed smart-ass, quippy, funny people. Not that I'm one of them. I just sorta sneaked in under the radar.

I didn't realize Boston was so easy to get around. In my head, I imagined Boston being this really sprawling city.

Boston was a great city to grow up in, and it probably still is. We were surrounded by two very important elements: academia and the arts. I was surrounded by theater, music, dance, museums. And I learned how to sail on the Charles River. So I had a great childhood in Boston. It was wonderful.

Growing up in Boston and dancing in the streets, you see a lot of things.

Boston has a lot of European qualities to it, and one of them is the charm of its above-ground trollies.

It's different from Liverpool. Boston seems to be a friendly place.

I love Boston; it's like Paris.

I've been surprised by Austin. I had a cowboy image of the place. It's a pretty sophisticated city - in some ways, more sophisticated than Boston. And there's a lighter feel to the place. It's very good for my spirits.

I miss Boston so much and want to get back there someday.
