Spotted at LaGuardia Airport!

Huh?

Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill is home to three major universities–UNC, NC State and Duke–and countless other smaller universities. That makes this fitting!

Boston’s “T” public transportation system is accessible via “Charlie” tickets–this is basically the ticket you purchase to ride. Gotta love the graphic, though!

A Boston intellectual

We spend a lot of time in this space talking about the differences between the East Coast and the West Coast, which are very different culturally in so many ways. However, by grouping the East Coast together as one, that’s not to say that Miami is the same as DC is the same as New York is the same as Boston. So in an effort to begin to shed some light on the differences found within the East Coast, we wanted to share with you a quote from none other than Mark Twain, when writing a memoir about Boston:

In New York they ask “how much money does he have?” In Philadelphia, they ask, “who were his parents?” In Boston they ask, “how much does he know?”

Boston indeed boasts a highly intellectual culture, as renowned universities are an integral part of the city’s fabric. Besides Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), which are known around the world, 54 other universities call the city home.

The perfect irony for April Fool’s Day…
