What are the physical and human characteristics of Boston Massachusetts?

I assume you are asking about the geography of Boston, and what the people are like. Boston is the capital and the largest city, in the eastern part of Massachusetts, at the mouth of the Charles and Mystic Rivers, and not that far from the Atlantic Ocean. Boston is a religiously diverse city with Catholicism being the dominant faith but also large numbers of Protestants and Jews, and smaller numbers of Hindus, Buddhists, and Muslims. Boston is not as multicultural as New York, but there are a sizable number of African-American and Hispanic residents, and due to the large number of area colleges (about 60 at last count), students from all over the world come to study in the city. Boston is a far more tolerant place than it was in the era of busing, but more improvements could certainly be made. There is also, as in many cities, a gap between how the wealthiest residents live versus how the poorest residents live. Greater Boston is known for its history, its museums, its hospitals, numerous research facilities, and its passionate devotion to its sports teams.
