When you get right down to it, this Boston "neighborhood" thing is just confusing. I work in Dorchester but management likes to put "Boston" on the stationary, which is confusing because there's an identical address in Boston proper, just with a different zip code. Are there any other cities that have similar naming schizophrenia? _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
