Boston is the capital and largest city of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in the United States. Boston also serves as county seat of Suffolk County. The largest city in New England, the city proper, covering 48 square miles (124 km2), had an estimated population of 645,966 in 2014, making it the 24th largest city in the United States. The city is the anchor of a substantially larger metropolitan area called Greater Boston, home to 4.5 million people and the tenth-largest metropolitan area in the country. Greater Boston as a commuting region is home to 7.6 million people, making it the sixth-largest Combined Statistical Area in the United States.
One of the oldest cities in the United States, Boston was founded on the Shawmut Peninsula in 1630 by Puritan settlers from England. It was the scene of several key events of the American Revolution, such as the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, the Battle of Bunker Hill, and the Siege of Boston. Upon American independence from Great Britain, the city continued to be an important port and manufacturing hub, as well as a center for education and culture. Through land reclamation and municipal annexation, Boston has expanded beyond the original peninsula. Its rich history helps attract many tourists, with Faneuil Hall alone attracting over 20 million visitors. Boston's many firsts include the United States' first public school, Boston Latin School (1635), and first subway system (1897).
The area's many colleges and universities make Boston an international center of higher education and medicine, and the city is considered to be a world leader in innovation for a variety of reasons. Boston's economic base also includes finance, professional and business services, and government activities. The city has one of the highest costs of living in the United States, though it remains high on world livability rankings.

Dan, you've eclipsed yourself with this video. Things are so much different than when I went to school. The Fitzgerald (my name incidentally) Expressway, once considered advanced had become an out of date elevated mess with short merging lanes. The Mass Pkke hadn't been extended to I-93 and the Big Dig to put the Fitzgerald underground and replace above with urban park hadn't been done. One thing always amazes me around your videos is how you manage to travel with the traffic is so light. As you must be well aware, New England traffic is usually very heavy. Anyway, this video is a masterpiece, takes me back and forward all at the same time, thank you, j.
Starting point is Weston not Westborough and what I never understood is why they only have the I 90 shield and not the Mass Turnpike shield east of 93 and Ted Williams Tunnel 11:05
You should come back to South Carolina and film Hilton Head Island they have a toll road called Cross Island Parkway the road to Hilton Head is U.S. Highway 278 the exit is off Interstate 95 the exit is 8.
