Time Lapse Video - Boston Massachussetts

That is pretty cool and yes there are a lot of cool things about Boston. I enjoy my "in the office days" when it's nice like that (I work out of Boston at least a couple of days a week usually). The problem is the city only looks like that for maybe half of May, June, July, August and September. The video doesn't show it being gray, cold and dreary or when it's got three feet of snow on the ground during the other seven and a half months of the year. Yes, it is that bad.

Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of cool things in this area but the crummy weather is enough where I think I'm going to call it quits in the next few months and move elsewhere. Looking seriously at jobs in Hawaii, Florida, Texas and Arizona (and a couple of overseas prospects). I just don't like cold weather all that much. All the positive aspects aren't enough to offset that unfortunately.

Cool city, but not without it's own issues. Weather is a biggie (also no parking, expensive, crumbling infrastructure, intensely parochial attitudes by a lot of people, etc.). If it were located about 2,000 miles south it's somewhere I'd consider staying though. Very cool city when it's nice out - not unlike Chicago in that regard too (another one that is just awesome but unfortunately for too short a time each year...)
