I voted "within muni's that border the city" because it's the closest option to "urbanized metro area." I don't see why someone from Somerville can't claim to be from Boston when traveling (but my opinion doesn't really count). It bothers me when friends from my hometown tell people we're from Boston when traveling. We're 40 minutes out of the city, I just can't see how that constitutes being from Boston.

I usually tell people that I'm from South Eastern Massachusetts, and if they ask where, I saw near Fall River or New Bedford (which many people, even in New England, hell, even in Massachusetts don't know exist) and if they don't get that, I give in and say not far from "Cape Cod" which almost everyone knows.

I could identify with Providence if I needed to (closer to me than Boston at 25 minutes away), but being across state lines, saying I'm from "S.E. Mass... not far from Providence" can really throw them for a loop.

I hate that everyone from Eastern Mass says they're from Boston because anytime you go out of state, and you say, "I'm from Massachusetts," you almost inevitably get, "Oh, so you're from Boston?" Going to college in Maine, I swear to God everyone assumed I was from Boston because I had Mass. plates and told people I was from Mass. It happens everywhere.

I don't see no "Weston" on this map.
