Natick is pretty undeniably a suburb of Boston unless you want to engage in "anything outside I95 is irreverent boondocks" type snobbery which people of the immediate "Boston, the adjacent cities and their wealthiest suburbs" are somewhat known for.
>Then again I swear I've seen places in Maine calling themselves the Boston whatever company, so what do I know.
Calling Portland, Nashua, Kittery or whatever "a Boston suburb" is a statement about people, not geography.
- VyseofArcadia 4y ago> Natick is pretty undeniably a suburb of Boston That's my point. It's a suburb of Boston. It's not Boston. Call them a Natick duo. Credit where credit it due. > unless you want to engage in "anything outside I95 is irreverent boondocks" type snobbery Just the opposite. I don't like how all the towns outside the city get lumped in with the city. Non-local news makes it sound like the entire eastern half of the state is Boston, but there's more to it than that.
