In light of the tragic events of the Boston Marathon bombing, there's no better time to announce your pride in Boston. The way the entire city came together to help the victims of the attack, find the perpetrators, and hold each other during this sad event truly speaks to how amazing the people of Boston are. Even Bostonians who weren't in the city at the time or have moved to other places came together via the internet to cry, pray, and give words of support and love. To show you're from this amazing city, you can add a Boston Patch to the sleeve of your jacket or the front of your vest. It's one of the City Name Patches on The Cheap Place, a set of fairly new patches for sale featuring the names of some of the biggest cities in the U.S.
Of course, Boston is defined by more than just this recent tragic event. As the largest city of Massachusetts, Boston is a great destination for culture, entertainment, and history.
