I met with an HBS professor for 45 minutes, and had to spend an entire week in Boston... June 17th - 24th 2005. The worst thing you can say about the city is that stoplights for pedestrians only works randomly, plus you could really use a bike because you end up walking a lot. Freedom trail shows that you may be remembered as a Patriot if you disobey King and Country at the right moment. Otherwise the city is great.
