Boston may have been smaller then Philli but it was still a major city, and part of the 4 major city's of colonial america, I never proclaimed it was the largest.

Personally, I found South Carolina FAR more 'British' than Boston. There was British remnants everywhere, from houses to politics. Here in Boston, I encounter lots of anti British sentiment, as well as (disgusting) IRA sympathy (but that's another discussion).

I think the residents on Concord and Lexington might disagree about where the Revolution started.

Though they are small city/towns....bit pricey. Very nice though. The minuteman trail is lovely for a walk/cycle towards Boston.

Head into parts of JP and the IRA are alive and well, it seems :lol:

Well it's the only place where I've openly seen Irish mob running protection rackets and have seen a street of fire bombed businesses for not paying up :o
