Growing up in the south shore my whole life, I found myself in and out of the city. I spent the majority of my childhood in Quincy, and found myself at the commons, Castle Island, and Boston Garden all the time, but there is a big difference between the way I inhabit the city now and the way I did then. Up until this past semester I really only accessed the city through car. Boston was just a roadway to me for a way. Relying on Mass Ave, Melina Cas Blvd, and Huntington to lead me through town. No that I spend the majority of my time in town; I now inhabit the city by foot. I now navigate through the town through backstreets, alleyways, and those one ways never possible with that of a car. In a sense being a pedestrian and driving through Boston are separate experiences in their entirety. In conclusion, Boston is no longer just street names to me, but now Copley Square, Quincy Market, and the famous landmarks that have come to be such memorable rendezvous points.
