(12,233 posts)doing what Boston does. It's a proud city. And people are willing to keep out of the way to make it easier to catch those who harmed the city on Patriot's Day when the city hosted the world to the marathon. People just don't understand unless they have lived close enough to know the city... I grew up in southern VT... We spent many field trips at the museums and in the city. Many of us when we are old enough drive to the edge and take the T into the city to see a game or take in sites or visit a friend in college. I flew out of there when I went to Italy for my college graduation gift. My sister and her husband head into the city quite often (less now that they have the baby), but its an enjoyable place with great people and somehow everyone kind of know everyone... Its like Charleston in SC.. Everyone knew everyone somehow through someone... And when you move into the area, you become a part of the area.
They just don't get it Will. I get it and I didn't even "live" in the city... Only visited on occassions for a great trip away from the country.
On Edit: And as the police are going door to door, they are probably being greated with well wishes and refreshments from most of the residents. They want the bombers caught and anyone who may be associated at all with the two boys (I have a feeling there are more players on the back scene.. lot's of bombs for just two to mastermind in my opinion).
