Took a different approach:

Boston- historic, diverse, cold, compact, triple-decker

Worcester- ugly, hilly, cold, boring, microcosm

Springfield- ghetto, suburban, Puerto Rican, Different, dead

Cambridge- progressive, density, colleges, restaurants, fun

Lowell-gritty, Mills, improved, Cambodian, northernness

Brockton-violent, dorchester, affordable, declining, Black

Lynn-improving, Sin,diverse, beach, alternative

New Bedford-historic, crime, changing, concrete, Providence

Quincy- underrated, proximity, Asian,affordable, highways

Fall River-old, Portuguese, unappealing, townie, poverty

Didn’t of Maryland because the only two places I e been that felt like cities and not random planned suburbs were Baltimore and Annapolis. I hear Frederick is a city though.
