    I too am heartbroken. Being from Boston it hurts just that much more. I have lived here all but 4 years of my 31 on this earth.

    What makes me so proud to be from here is the close knit community we have here. Especially when a tragedy occurs like yesterday, everyone comes together and the city becomes like one big family. Makes me happy and proud to be from Boston.
    He who forgets will be destined to remember.

    Thoughts and prayers go out to Boston. Having been there last year for my sister's graduation and walking those very streets, scary to think something like that can happen anytime, anywhere.

    As a huge baseball fan, it was a dream come true to see a game at Fenway Park. It really couldn't have been scripted any better either. My brother surprised me with Green Monster tickets as a belated birthday present and the game we attended (5/19/08) ended up being Jon Lester's no-hitter. The stadium was absolutely electric and that still tops my list of ballpark experiences.

    Never been to Boston,don't really know much about Boston,but just wanted to say that times like this I really feel that we are all somehow connected. I feel the pain of those people though I've not experienced any of it,and I believe that they can feel me grieving for them all the way from my small city in Alberta.
    Hearts&Thoughts.....
    I will walk w/my hands bound
    I will walk w/my face blood
    I will walk w/my shadow flag

    Memories back when she was smooth and strong
    and waiting for the world to come along...

    A horrible day for Boston as well as for the country. I've never been to Boston but I have a MA in history. My favorite thing about Boston is its spirit that started with the founding of this country as the people there decided to fight what was at the time the most powerful military in the world.

    My favorite part of living in Boston was hanging out in Harvard Square back in high school and college...visiting all the used record stores, going to the original Newbury Comics on Newbury Street, seeing independent films at the Brattle Theater and Coolidge Corner...checking out the local bands at Axis,The Rathskellar, The Channel, The Middle East...and all the good bands that came out this city that went on to become national acts; J Geils Band, Boston, Extreme, Aerosmith, Pixies, The Cars, Til Tuesday, Lemonheads, Dropkicks, Bosstones..the list goes on and on.

    I love this place and I will never leave!

    The people there are incredibly nice (except when they find out you are a Yankkes fan :lol: ). I love the history there and it is an amazing city. Prayers to everyone who was affected by this cowardly act. Great giveaway by the way, very cool of you to do this.

    I have visited Boston only once. It was a cold December day and I was visiting clients. Had to leave earlier than I wanted to due to a Nor'easter hammering down! I hope to return during better weather and pay proper respect to Boston!

    as a child, my favorite thing about Boston was Clemens. my favorite player, had every card ever printed with his name on it. until... as we all know the story goes... never a Bosox fan, but wore the fitted cap in Clemens' honor. that being said, Atlanta is my favorite city. world class people, places, and things. and the braves are off to a great start this year!(12-2???) Turner field is a great place to watch a game; hopefully i'll have the opportunity to sit atop the 'monstah' one day ;) thanks for the cool giveaway OP! :clap: thoughts and prayers go out to ALL of the people in Boston, and around the country, for the tragic and cowardly acts of violence witnessed. a real shame that so many people don't know how to treat others.

    My favorite thing about Boston is that of all the cities in all the world this is the one I am lucky enough to call home. I am a lifelong New Englander, born and raised, and if I have anything to say about it I will never leave.

    The second Mansfield 2008 concert. My wife and I drove out there from Wisconsin, and she now refuses to see PJ again because the show was so perfect (she does love "Footsteps").
