Is this common knowledge? Do i spend way too much time in live maps? today I discovered that technically, Boston is an island.
The charles river flows from downtown inland, and then once it hits route 95 it turns and starts flowing south. Once it reaches Dedham, it heads back inland, but where it turns there is a smaller thing of water flowing out to sea called Mother Brook. Mother Brook flows into the Neponset, which flows into the harbor. So, Boston is surrounded by water on all four sides, and therefore, an island.
two responses im expecting: "We already knew this dumbass"
"who cares"
