ABOUT THIS SERIES

Boston abounds with iconic locations. The Freedom Trail, Public Gardens, Fenway Park, Esplanade, and Beacon Hill are landmarks that make Boston extraordinary. But as Bostonians know, the city’s essence is the residents and the diverse neighborhoods in which they live. ‘We are Boston,’ illustrates the characters that provide the heartbeat of this city. A Roxbury police officer, a bartender from Southie, and a North End bakery owner are among the people we profile. We’ll continue to add to the, ‘We Are Boston,’ collection, so if you have a suggestion for another piece of the puzzle, let us know at shareit@nbcboston.com.
