Every city has its own traditions and Boston is no exception. Ranking right up there with the Red Sox home opener, Patriot’s Day (a.k.a. Boston Marathon), and the Head of the Charles (which is technically more of a Cambridge thing) is September 1st.
The universities that call this city home have shaped Boston’s reputation and play a major part in forming our identity. Literally tens of thousands of students have returned to Boston this weekend and along with them came moving cars, vans and trucks of all sizes.
The upside to this temporary insanity is that Boston (which is a sleepy hamlet from early May through August) suddenly jolts back to life. No city (but especially one as tiny as Boston) can ignore the impact these students have on city life. They revive the nightlife, crowd the restaurants and fill the sidewalks. While I am not ready to say goodbye to summer, the students have returned and it is the start of another academic year.
