| City Life | New Orleans charms visitors and locals alike with its music scene, diverse cuisine and stubborn refusal to abandon its cultural traditions. But what is truly wonderful about the Big Easy lies at its heart, beyond the casual tourists swaying Mardi Gras beads and late-night strolls down Bourbon Street. The residents of New Orleans are infused with a resilient and welcoming spirit that celebrates eccentricity, draws out the timid and steadfastly resists outside influences that seek to homogenize them.The cost of living in New Orleans is roughly on par with the national average. Historic neighborhoods like St. Roch and Treme have experienced gentrification in recent years. Also, increasingly scarce housing has driven up rents in the metro area and priced out many working-class residents. | Boston- world leader in higher education because of several colleges & universities in the area; 12th largest economy in the world (majorly based on finance, professional & business services, biotechnology, IT, government activities, etc.); Popular tourist attractions include: Freedom Trail, Faneuil Hall, Fenway Park, Beacon Hill, Harvard Square, John F.
