Ask HN: Inspire me, Boston
3 comments
Boston is an amazing city. Have lived here for most of my life (after moving here from Armenia when I was 7) I can honestly say it's my favorite city in the US, and I've been to Miami, NYC, LA. It's very similar to a European city as you're going to get in the states, people are nice, the city feels homely (not too big yet big enough to have a lot to do). I know this doesn't answer your hacker-related questions, but just giving you my perspective of the city. Come visit and see if you like it.
I'm from Melbourne (Australia, not Florida) and soon I'll be heading to Boston. I have read a lot about the hacker culture there, and PG's 'Cities and Ambition' essay, so I'm keen to see what the big deal is about, and I reckon there are a few people from there here.
Where should I go? Where should I hang out and soak it up, what (or who) should I make sure I see? What inspires you about Boston?
Thanks!
