Throw on your Red Sox cap, hop on the T, and uncover some secrets along the way.
Heather Kapplow (www.heatherkapplow.com) is one of the rarest kind of creatures you will find in Boston: a native Bostonian. A visual and performing artist as well as a writer, Heather travels frequently for projects in both spheres and has a very deep understanding of what it's like to be a newcomer in an unfamiliar city. It's among Heather's life goals to make Boston a more welcoming place, as well as to throw spotlights on Boston's many nuanced subcultures. You can find anything you need in Boston (except maybe a parking space in the winter) if you seek it out - take it from a native. Kim Windyka fell in love with Boston while growing up in nearby southern New Hampshire, and has never become tired of the city's beauty and historic charm in the 12 years she's been living there since attending Emerson College. A full-time copywriter with experience in multiple industries including travel, tech, and fashion, she has also written pieces for The Atlantic, New York Magazine, McSweeney's, and more.
