does anyone know the song "Boston" by augustana?
if you dont i suggest listening to it.
its a great song,
and what im trying to say here is that plattsburgh is my "boston".
he sings about going to boston to start a new life and to take a break from the world.
he wants to go to a place where no one knows his name...
and thats how i feel about plattsburgh.
plattsburgh is my boston.
i recently lost my soul and i needed a break from my hometown,
so i went to plattsburgh for a few days,
and i took a train home...
it was my first time taking a train.
i loved it!
plattsburgh is my safe place.
ive been going up to plattsburgh for years,
but i really havent noticed that plattsburgh is my boston up until 2 years ago.
plattsburgh gives me a chance to create a new me,
to create a new image.
it gives me a chance to be someone else if i wanted to.
the ride up and down is so beautiful,
it gives me time and it gives me a chance to clear my head.
it gives me time to think.
in my hometown...everyone knows of me...
but plattsburgh is my get away...
plattsburgh is my boston.

I've always lived southeast of Boston and have always loved it in the area. But I can relate to your words here very well. I think we all need to get away from the familiar surroundings every now and then for all the reasons you mention here. Great write.
thank you
