We love our little city
Over 12 years ago

Charleston has a lot going on for being a small city. Capitol Street has great restaurants and Taylor Books, and Capitol Market is one of the best year-round farmers  More

One of the last affordable places in metro Boston
Over 19 years ago

Natives of the Boston area tend to be a bit provincial and quick to judge people by where they live. Lawrence has had some down years. It lacks the sterling reputation  More
