I have good memories of Boston when as a young man I discovered the US of A. They (Boston) had this very exciting area in town called, at the time, the Main Battle Zone. Would make Miami Vice blush...
Of course Bostonians also realized that the rest of the country is culturally deprived, or so they told me.

Only in light-hearted jest, I assure you. I fell in love with New England when I saw Funny Farm, primarily because the town of Redbud reminded me so much of my own hometown in NC. 😀
When I first visited the area in 2010, I found it to be everything I'd expected. Wonderful place!
Boston would still be where it always has been - Lincolnshire, UK.
And if you've ever been there, you'd understand why so many were ready to jump on board a vessel on an uncertain journey west in preference!
The mystery is actually why they named Boston, Mass. to remind them of home 😉
Jan, I think you meant "The Combat Zone" seamy does not quite begin to describe it, but its been gone for about 20yrs now.. Thanks for the memories. LOL
Fine internet institutions like pornhub have largely rendered it superfluous.. LOL Providence RI was always the better place for that sort of thing as they had more liberal laws.
"Banned in Boston" is an expression some of you might have heard of, Boston was not always the open minded progressive place it is known for being today, and more recently than you might think. There are other equally embarrassing moments in our not so distant past.. We know our history.. LOL
Banned in Boston was always something you hoped for. Had to be something good there there if it had that label. 🙂
At least they stopped to brew beer:
