<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi everyone- So far the response to my question about the Boston area has been wonderful. Thank you all for your suggestions, support, etc. Many people said to hold onto their e mail address and write or call with any other questions- You are all so supportive and have already made this move much easier to visualize! Honestly, the suggestions for stores, restaurants, bakeries(!!YUM) and other genaral info will really help this transition. I thought I wouldn't summarize to the list b/c I don't know that there is a ton of interest- but please e -mail me if you'd like to hear what I learned. and I'm still interested in any new responses- just thought I'd write now before too much time past. I'm still working on thanking each of you personally- but there was one post which I somehow lost or erased before responding to- To whomever wrote asking if I was looking for a roomate- I am actually moving there with my husband- so I'm all set! But best of luck to your daughter in finding a roomate! THANK YOU! Becca
