my boyf livese in Malden and every time I go visit we just kinda hang out in Malden and sooooometimes Boston proper, but rarely anywhere else. I've been to Cambridge a few times and it's cute, I THINK I've been to Somerville but I'm not certain, and I've def never been to JP.
We're also thinking abt day tripping to Salem?
xp Boston's Chinatown was p impressive and is def an above-average Chinatown imo

IIRC DC's Chinatown is just a big arch and then tons of regular-ass retail chains and does not feel remotely enclavey or distinct from its surroundings

salem is an enjoyable day trip, definitely would recommend. the peabody essex museum is the best small art museum in new england.

The more I read about Salem the more awesome it sounds, but if we went we'd have to leave by 4 or so so I think we're gonna go another time when we can stay later (or even maybe do an overnight trip)
so back to either JP or Cambridge

xp re DC, yea for sure. it felt like a real if somewhat small Chinatown when I first moved to DC in 2002 but by the time i left in 2008 it had completely transformed

lol steve replace "malden" with "medford" (which, close enough) and you basically have my long distance relationship from 2015

Unlike NYC, it’s one of those places where if a friend moves there, I assume I will never see them as long as they’re there. All of the hegemony, none of the charm.
