Is market basket opening a store on cape cod?
According to customer service in Ashland, MA store, it will open late April, early May. Can't open soon enough, Ashland is a little closer, but it's not a very inviting store. I'm sure the new one in Hudson will be a lot nicer, like the NH stores and Westford, MA. It's also about 2X the distance that it is to Price Chopper for me, but seeing how PC prices are 2x MB's, it's worth it!

Is Boston the best sports city to live in?
Yes it is!
When you think of a city with a successful sport teams, you would obviously think of Boston. When you look at all the different sports like NBA, NFL, NHL or MLS you see that there are different divisions for different sports. But whatever the division is, New England (or Boston) has the top ranked teams. Teams like the Patriots (NFL), the Celtics (NBA), the Bruins (NHL), the Revolutions (MLS) and also the Red Sox (MLB) are all very good teams, and they regularly make the playoffs. Boston has the most successful and the best sports teams in the nation.
These teams don't always win the playoffs, but they certainly have good records/standings at the end of the season. Though the Bruins are currently 3rd in their division, they aren't far away from the lead. The New England Revolution already clinched a spot in the playoffs, which means that they just have to win games to get home field advantage. This shows that the teams in Boston are really successful.
The Patriots are probably the most known team of Boston, and they are currently 6-2 half way through the season in the AFC. They have won 3 Super Bowls in the Last 10 years they have made they playoffs every year (of these last ten years). The Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is one of the (if not the) best in the NFL. The Patriots did not become one of the teams that have been undefeated. Though they were almost undefeated, they still lost that one game. That year they also did not win the Super Bowl, but they still made the playoffs! Key players on their team are Tom Brady (QB), Laurance Marony (RB), Wes Welker (WR) and Randy Moss (WR).
The Celtics are 17 time champions of the NBA, and they just recently in the 2007-2008 season won one of those championships, the same year the Patriots won their Super Bowl. The Celtics are currently 8-1 the number 1 team in the Eastern Conference. However the Celtics did not win championships all of those in the 21st century. Actually they have only won 1 in this century, but they have made the playoffs multiple times. Never the less this is a great team with many great players. Key players on this team are Paul Pierce (F), Kevin Garnett (F), Ray Allen (G) and Rajon Rondo (G).
As you can see Boston currently has the best, and most successful teams in the nation. Therefore players around the world would like to join the teams in the New England area because that's where the most successful players are. With the Boston teams on top of their divisions, or their standings looking very good. This could just be another successful year for Boston.
