More reading...! Just as long as I don't have to give up the NYT. To paraphrase Charlton Heston, they can have my NYT when they pry it from my cold dead hands.... Hey, at least the Globe is put out by NYT company, which is a marked improvement over the bird cage liners of the SF Bay area.

If you want to acclimate, start by reading the Globe. Seriously, reading the Metro and Arts sections is how I got my bearings when I moved to the city in '95 and felt totally overwhelmed.

I challenge you to name a 'perfect' place to live. It seems to me that you're asking the wrong questions here; instead, you need to indicate what *you* want, and then determine whether Boston can provide it. You want clear bike lanes? This probably isn't the best place to live, then. Wish to avoid road-rage? Ditto. Want a city with an organised road and transit system? Ditto. Sensibly laid-out roads? Ditto. But if you want wintery winters, good doctors, rowing in the fall, sailing in the spring, running and cycling along the Charles, easy access to the Cape and islands, concerts in summer at the Hatch, cantatas at Emmanuel, and Mother Harvard, then you can't do better than to be here. I'm a transplant here, and frankly I find it a lovely place to live, but like Hendrick's, it's not for everyone. What do you want?
