What do you love most about the Boston area?

Spring is almost here—in fact, we’re getting a taste of almost-spring weather right now—and with its formal arrival next month will come a lot more outdoors time and a lot more interaction with the built environment and the streetscape.

That leads us to our latest open thread: What’d you love the most about the Boston area? Maybe it’s the parks. Or the museums. Or, heck, even the transportation in a love-to-hate sort of way.

It could be an aspect of the region’s climate (cranberries, anyone?), or the makeup and the moxie of its people. Or do you just really, really dig federal architecture? Or modern architecture?

There is the history, too. So much history.

What will get you out of the house this spring? What’d you love most about being here? Sound off in the comments section below.
