This year brought with it so much drastic change and forced so many to hunker down. Priorities switched as families went into survival mode during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Relationships progressed or disbanded due to unexpected pressures. Roads were, literally, less traveled. As perspectives altered, we wondered if the relationship between New Englanders and their city had changed, too. We asked Boston.com readers: Is Boston still the best city?
Almost immediately on Twitter the prompt was met with amused sass that Boston.com, of all places, would ask such a question. “…asks Boston.com,” quote-tweeted one. Another Twitter user pointed out, “This is like the NFL asking if football is the best sport.”
Newton recently appointed three newly elected members to its Board of Directors:

Gloria
Greene, a
Newton native, joins the Board of Directors after 10 years of involvement at the Y s residential camp, Camp Frank A. Day. She attended Frank A.
