I’ve lived in the suburbs west of Boston for most of my life and never really had any landmarks or areas to guide me. Everything looks the same for the most part and my main way of orienting myself was just to learn the name of the roads instead of trying to find something unique among the endless rows of split level and ranch style houses. Once I moved to Boston though, the way I oriented myself changed completely. Architecture in the city really does orient you in the most concrete way possible, you look up, see a notable building, and just follow the roads towards that. The Prudential and the Hancock Tower are probably the most known, but there are plenty of unique buildings that are tall enough to be seen over others. We even have our own gigantic orange marker on campus now.
