The Purpose

I am a native Bostonian.
A city girl with an Atlantic Ocean view. 23 years worth. Home is an old
Italian neighborhood (the North End) bustling with new & old restaurants, businesses with fresh concepts which are all glued together by an old school mentality and a breeze filled with saltwater and garlic. I lived in a building packed with my whole family. I grew up with a mother & father so dedicated to sophisticating my palate that I was requesting fried calamari at 3 and cringing at pasta sauce from a jar since before exiting the womb. So, I Rolled the dice, left what was comfortable & took a promotion which landed me in the deep south. A land of peaches, pecans & peanuts. No ocean view. No Italian neighborhood to rely on. Raw, new, hot, Atlanta where I keep stumbling upon things with a bold, Bostonian opinion to share. This is Boston’s take on Atlanta.
