Boston, Massachusetts, Waterfront Welcomes Cool and Interactive Outdoor Space
Boston's waterfront isn't the one that we or our parents remember. Not that long ago in the '60s and '70s, it was a vast, industrial-looking space with just a couple of restaurants that seemed a little out of place (Jimmy's and Anthony's Pier 4) . The smoky bars seemed to fit in just fine, and they were filled with nefarious-looking people (not that I'm judging).

Boston, Massachusetts, Bars and Restaurants Do Not Have Happy Hour, and Here’s the Dark Reason Why
Boston, Massachusetts, Bars and Restaurants Do Not Have Happy Hour. Whenever we have gone into Boston and have been looking for a cocktail at, say, 4pm or so, it never occurred to us that there are no happy hour specials throughout the city. We just thought it was because it was Boston and things are always expensive. But then we heard about a young woman who lost her life in 1983, and that was the end of happy hour not only for Boston, but the entire Commonwealth.

From Newton, Massachusetts, to Scranton: John Krasinski and B.J. Novak Together for Decades

From Adam Sandler to Seth Myers, Sarah Silverman, Dan Brown, Stephen King, Mandy Moore, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and Rachel Dratch, the list goes on and on. I have to think, however, that The Office deserves a Dundee Award for the most cast members from Massachusetts. Two of them are even from the same city.
