Re: Canceled!
Spent my first 3 years in Boston. Raised by a mother and grandmother from Boston, born in 1901 and 1929. Beans were never a topic of conversation that I remember. This single paragraph from the link sums the whole article up perfectly.
We’re a town with a moniker that is meaningless to most residents, unknown to many tourists, and refers to a dish that is increasingly tough to find. I’m drawing a line in the brown sugar and saying that it’s time to do away with “Beantown” and come up with something that better reflects who we are. Because, in addition to all the other reasons, how can we possibly continue to allow the birthplace of the American Revolution, the home of world-class higher education, and the fertile ground of medical and technological breakthroughs to be reduced to a legume stewed in molasses, cooked in pork fat, and best known for producing flatulence? In short: We simply cannot.

Re: Canceled!
As my wife would say, this thread is a hoot and a half.
We call him Scooby Do, but Scooby doesn’t do. Scooby, is not involved
