I agree 100%. Also, Boston is maybe one of three major US cities with another municipality within a mile of its downtown, Miami and Detroit (Canada) being the others

NYC, Philly, DC, Cincinatti, New Orleans... I think there are probably more examples than you think. This might even apply to most major cities built on a river.

Looks like NYC, Philly, Detroit are locks. And I guess I should consider St Louis, Cincy, KC, Louisville as 'major' US cities.

So Boston roughly 1 of 8 cities with another municipality within a mile of its downtown, and back to subject, arguably the textbook definition of a parochial major American city. With Philly, St Louis and Cincinnati not far behind in that category.
