Boston

[altyfc]

Did you know there's a Boston here in the UK. It's in a county called Lincolnshire.

 

They have a football (soccer) team called Boston United. See here if you're interested:

I'm pretty sure our Boston was named after your Boston as the trend seems to be in the U.S. I like the Red Sox more than the Boston United though.

Its weird thinking that there's another Boston. That one seems so.... foreign. I guess thats because it is, but you get my point.

Surprised that we don't live in New Boston like New England, New York, and New Jersey

I wasn't aware of an English Boston. Hmmm. I guess I'll have to visit sometime, and hand our Red Sox hats.

A lot of towns in England are towns in Massachusetts....like there is a Swansea UK and a Swansea MA, which is where i live

You know there is a Florida, Mass. Unfortunately, no palm trees or coconuts. :-/

Woo Hoo! Go Southeastern Massachusetts! Home of the RemDawg, former Dodger Greg Gagne and failed Red Sox prospect Brian Rose! I'm a "Southeastern Massachusetts refugee currently stationed in Boston", as I like to call myself.

Oh yeah, that makes three of us on here so far. But I'm probably the only Portagee (localized slang for a person of Portuguese descent).
