111 Places in Boston That You Must Not Miss

Heather Kapplow (www.heatherkapplow.com) is one of the rarest kind of creatures you will find in Boston: a native Bostonian. A visual and performing artist as well as a writer, Heather travels frequently for projects in both spheres and has a very deep understanding of what it's like to be a newcomer in an unfamiliar city. It's among Heather's life goals to make Boston a more welcoming place, as well as to throw spotlights on Boston's many nuanced subcultures. You can find anything you need in Boston (except maybe a parking space in the winter) if you seek it out - take it from a native.
