Which I don't understand. The best universities are near Boston. Boston is the Mutual Fund HUB of the world. And although Sillicon Valley has taken over as the high-tech city of the US, Boston isn't too far behind. Some great tech companies like EMC is based out near Boston. Boston has to be the leading bio-tech city in America. Sure their football team cheats to win SuperBowls, but no one can be perfect. 2004 - The year $184M couldn't buy a pennant.
