Millenium Park is an enormous success. In the summer that place is FULL of people. On a nice summer evening, the two fountains that spit water are crowded with families. The kids love it.

Oh it bothers you? I must not have picked up on that. Maybe you should post somewhere about how people calling you "guy" really grinds your gears. Haha O.K. my bad I'll stop. I just couldn't resist.

And Patrick.... The Wu Tang Clan is not meaningless!

:lol: (Sigh).... Bobby, Bobby, Bobby (digi digi digi)...C'mon guy. Legit pissed you off? Wicked pissah guy. It's a internet message board; don't take it too seriously. Its also public so if you want a private conversation between you and Patrick then use the PM or something. Otherwise I...

Ahahaha this is hilarious. C'mon man, you do a pretty good job at making yourself look juvenile, without Patricks comments... I don't think I even really need to elaborate. And c'mon guy what are you doing online anyways, I heard the Glass Slipper got a special on broads with a third nipple...

I'm 26.

There was a 8 story blue brick apartment 3 bulidings down from me at my last residence and it was extremely ugly. I prefer boring beige over ugly blue brick.

Although colleges with UP as a bachelors degree can be hard to find, there are several. I'm not sure what area your looking to go to college in, but I can think of several in the Midwest. I graduated from U of Illinois Urbana-Champaign with an undergrad degree in Urban and Regional Planning...

Yah I think Waltham does a good job of mixing it up. It's not upper class like Weston and Lincoln, yet its not majorly lower class either. It does have some housing projects and some slum-like housing here and there, but it also has some nice new apartment complexes and a large section of...

I grew up in Waltham. It has some lower class areas near downtown, but the majority of the city is what I would call Middle Class. What part of Waltham were you in?

I would have to agree with lrfox. Although I don't know the specifics of the Hockomock Marsh, it really seems to me that people in Easton are just trying to block a "noisy" train that will go through their town, to the detriment of the state as a whole. As lrfox said, this train line would...

Thats a really great picture. The skyline for this area of the city is more impressive than the skyline for most small/medium sized cities in the US. In fact, without knowing thats Boston, I would easily have believed thats that skyline for the downtown of a city with a population of 250,000.

You sure you don't mean Madision???? :lol:

Patrick, you sure love your hometown! Although big cities might have higher crime rates, more traffic, and a few other "costs" that smaller cities like Portland don't have as much as, there's something to be said for the energy and life that you feel living in a big city that you just can't find...

This is a good point. The amount of noise you're able to block with concrete is amazing.

HHHMMM I'm getting my city square mileage statistics from Emporis, so I don't know how acurate they are.... Anyhow, graduate school is tight on the budget, so I can see why you didn't want to spend it in Boston. But then again, Brookline is one of the most expensive suburbs, so there is more...

Nah you're missing the point. Madison is not a "larger city" than Portland. Maybe in terms of population in the city, but that's because they do a better job at density. The square mileage of each city is basically the same. The MSA of Madison is actually smaller than Portland, meaning there...

Patrick Wrote: Cambruidge is for all intents and purposes Boston. not to mention even if it stood on its own it still has a dramatically higher population. so does madison, which has a population in the 200,000 range, whereas we only have 64,000. - I would argue that Madison is a good...

Don't get me wrong, from everything I hear about Portland (my parents who use to live there and all I hear on here), I know I'd love it, but I can name a few cities that easily compare with Portland, some come close but aren't quite better, and a few I would probably say are better. Also, I...

Haha. That gave me a good chuckle at work...
