Boston didn't come together for revenge.

After 9/11 New Yorkers started actually TALKING to each other. I see the same thing happening in Boston.

Despite Thatcher's claim, there IS such a thing as "community" and we are seeing it again. Selfish individualism isn't euphoric.

To all of Boston, don't live in fear of your neighbors. Celebrate life with them and be proud that you are unafraid.

It's very typical and one big reason I miss it so much.
