    Great video. Watching it brings back so many memories. I was a young 19 year old kid when I visted there doing an internship. I'm from a small town in Florida and coming to Boston was my first time leaving my state. That week my buddy and I must've walked all over this place. I loved it!

    How to get to know a city. Go during a quiet time and go for a 'joy' ride. Drive slowly ; paying attention to traffic signs. Even go for a straight ride up and down main street several times so you don't get lost. Do that several times until you get to know the main street and begin to get familiar with the landmarks. It will take years to really get to know a city. If you can't find your way out of a city to a highway, keep riding around in circles ; you will get their eventually. We're pretty good with signage in the east. Watch you gas gauge!

Ben Affleck grew up in there after all (Yuk)
