Long known for its “old world” charm, Boston has come a long way towards staking its claim in the 21st century. With the completion of the “Big Dig,” which buried Boston’s vast network of highways underground, Boston has hit the new century running. With a collection of parks set to take the place of the ungainly elevated highways, the years to come promise to see Boston only get more beautiful.
