nfreeman Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 I actually think Boston is dirtier than New York (yes, as in litter), but I've only been to three of the five boroughs (Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens). Then again, it's been a long time since I've been to Boston; maybe they've cleaned up their act. Washington, D.C. is the cleanest city I've ever been to (lived in it for quite a while, actually), and that includes some of the not-so-nice areas. It was when I lived in Washington that I was struck by how dirty Boston is. Eye of the beholder, I guess. I also lived in DC for a number of years (in the 90s) and while I'll agree that the national monument areas are well-maintained, I felt that the bulk of the city was in terrible shape, including as regards litter. Of course, I was good and sick of DC by the time I left, so I'm probably not very objective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Were you in Boston pre-big dig? That's made a pretty big difference. There's a lot more open space as opposed to bridge and highway covered land. It was during the dig. I'd walk through areas like Newberry Street, and I was freaking amazed at the amount of trash lying on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, it doesn't seem too bad now, but I don't really have too many cities to compare it to. My main complaint is always the crap like sand blowing aroudn in the wind after the winter ends.

shrader Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 what...NOBODY's been to cincinnati? I flew through Cincy once. There was a plane there painted up with nothing but Simpsons characters. So with that as my only impression of Cincinnati, I love the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 what...NOBODY's been to cincinnati? I've been there and it struck me as a pretty nice city. It beat the heck out of Dayton, where I was stuck for 3 weeks for work once upon a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It beat the heck out of Dayton, where I was stuck for 3 weeks for work once upon a time. Was there for a week a few years ago! Had a blast nice bars pretty good folk. Not a Steeler/Pens fan but it was interesting to go to a "Steeler Bar" there. On a related note they were playing the Pens/Flyers game on and it was a great game. The people were going nuts. I remember streaming sabres games in the lobby of the hotel. You'd have thought i was watching porn the looks i was getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
