What does Boston mean to you?

Is Boston the city of your dreams? Struggles, hopes? A homeland of the free, fulfilled ideals of freedom, opportunity, and equality for all or close to Childish Bambino’s This is America? Dream alive or almost dead? Strong? A provincial town or one with a powerful role in American culture? An emerald jewel or a cement jungle? A future smart city or a disaster in making? Whether a critical commentary or an optimistic ode, realistic or imaginative, factual or poetic, the subject is open to wide interpretation – our goal is to show as many points of view as possible.
