Excuse me there tourist, you must not be familiar with the port city of Boston. It is actually Boston Common, not Boston Commons. Please enjoy this map that we made to help you out.

It’s a common mistake, don’t worry about it.

Similar pedantic offenses are if you stay "in Cape Cod" or "in Martha's Vineyard." The correct preposition for both is on.

Good Lord, the "Capitol Building" spans east to west from Norwood to Hopkinton, and Faneuil Hall sits in Norwell to Abington.

I don't want to live here anymore.

Don't listen to them. Contrary to popular belief there is more than one common in Boston

Does anyone else crack up when the bot refers to Boston as a port city? I mean, it technically is, but I would make the argument that more commerce and travel occurs via air than via boat!

It’s a joke in reference to an old post here. There’s a lot of that in this sub. I’d say only about 25% of us get it. With a city and sub that’s made of a lot of transients and visitors, that don’t get the references, it can get tired.
