Boston, officially the City of Boston, is the capital and largest city of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the cultural and financial center of the New England region of the Northeastern United States. The city boundaries encompass an area of about 48.4 sq mi (125 km2) and a population of 675,647 as of 2020. The city is the economic and cultural anchor of a substantially larger metropolitan area known as Greater Boston, a metropolitan statistical area (MSA) home to 4,941,632 people as of 2020, ranking as the eleventh-largest MSA in the country. A broader combined statistical area (CSA), generally corresponding to the commuting area and including Worcester, Massachusetts and Providence, Rhode Island, is home to approximately 8.2 million people, making it the seventh-most populous in the United States.
Boston is one of the nation's oldest municipalities, founded on the Shawmut Peninsula in 1630 by Puritan settlers from the English town of the same name. During the American Revolution and the nation's founding, Boston was the location of several key events, including the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, the hanging of Paul Revere's lantern signal in Old North Church, the Battle of Bunker Hill, and the siege of Boston. Following American independence from Great Britain, the city continued to play an important role as a port, manufacturing hub, and center for American education and culture. The city has expanded beyond the original peninsula through land reclamation and municipal annexation. Its rich history attracts many tourists, with Faneuil Hall alone drawing more than 20 million visitors per year. Boston's many firsts include the United States' first public park (Boston Common, 1634), the first public school (Boston Latin School, 1635), the first subway system (Tremont Street subway, 1897), and the first large public library (Boston Public Library, 1848).
In the 21st century, Boston has emerged as a global leader in higher education and academic research. Greater Boston's many colleges and universities include Harvard University and MIT, both located in suburban Cambridge and both routinely included among the world's most highly ranked universities. The city is also a national leader in scientific research, law, medicine, engineering, and business. With nearly 5,000 startup companies, the city is considered a global pioneer in innovation and entrepreneurship. Boston's economic base also includes finance, professional and business services, biotechnology, information technology, and government activities. Households in the city claim the highest average rate of philanthropy in the United States. Boston businesses and institutions rank among the top in the country for environmental sustainability and new investment.

JetBlue and the new Dallas on TNT teamed up to throw a tweetup in Boston. Sweet Cheeks Q brought out some new takes on classic Texas fare and a great time was had by all, particularly when stars of the show Jordana Brewster and Julie Gonzalo stopped by to meet their fans!
You can now fly JetBlue between Boston and Dallas / Fort Worth three times daily. and catch the premiere of new show Dallas on TNT June 13, 2012!
Next stop was Boston, and I could finally get a signal on my Blackberry without paying the $20/MB download charges. I had not been to Boston for about ten years when I flew out on business. I did not want to drive here even back then, so I hired a cab to take me to the meetings. I was amazed that even the tunnels under the river had off-ramps in them. Pam and I are not very good night owls, as we go to bed early, but if you were, I never seen so many lounges, night clubs, bars, and restaurants, in one spot just on this ship.

I went downtown today, taking the B line, then the E. The reason was to see the museum of fine art. I can get in free with my student ID, so I did. The art was impressive, they had an exhibit of photos taken by a women who lived in Idaho taking pictures for a year trying to capture the spirit of the people and place and whatever. The pictures were great, and she took them with a huge format traditional camera, so they must have been at least four or five feet across, exquisitly detailed. There were tons of other peices of art there, and I didn't feel up to seeing them all at once, so I think I'll go back soon.
I walked from the Museum T stop back to Copley square, which took about half an hour. This library was on the way. I didn't go inside, but kept walking because I didn't want to get back to campus too late. I rode the train to Harvard square and walked around a bit, nothing exciting.
Now I'm back in my dorm drinking a cup of jasmin tea getting ready to go to dinner. I had some sushi left over from luch in the fridge that I was going to eat for dinner, but my roomate wants to eat at the dining hall, so I think I'll try to round up some people and do that.
