That's what the license plate now says. It used to be Land of Opportunity, so I don't know if opportunity stopped knocking or what. I doubt it. There are still vast areas of plain old space here, though development is sprawling in other areas.

I will be returning home soon, dear reader, and I must go outside and sun myself just a little bit more. Weather delightful. Wish you were here.

Funny how we re-use names in this country -- I confirmed with the blow-up of that map you posted that yes, it does say Boston (Mts) on it. And in the bigger version I also see Jacksonville and Cleveland and Stuttgart and Newport. Surely there's no port anywhere near Newport, is there? (Stuttgart Germany is where Mercedes Benz is headquartered.)
But I suppose the bigger versions of those cities that come to my mind copied their names from somewhere else too.
Methinks the climate /weather is more conducive to your nature than New England's?
Enjoy yourself - don't hurry back - altho ' we dear readers do miss you! :(
sm, you have surely noticed the same phenomenon here in New England, right? Truro? Shrewsbury? Marlboro? They say in all there are only seven plots to a story? Maybe there are only seven town names....
DB, the weather there is great, but gets far too hot for the likes of me in the summer. That's why I always go in May!!!
