What makes a city particularly unfriendly?
Be it population, traffic, crime, weather, or a combination of all aforementioned factors, something about the most unfriendly city in Massachusetts landed it on a list of the most unfriendly cities across the country.
According to a list compiled by MapQuest Travel, the most unfriendly city in all of Massachusetts is Boston. Massachusetts ranked as the fifth most unfriendly city in the U.S.
Other cities on the list include Providence, Rhode Island, Seattle, Washington, Baltimore, Maryland, and Las Vegas, Nevada to name only a few.
Here's what MapQuest Travel had to say about the most unfriendly city in the entire state:
"This city has a horrible history of race relations and that can’t help with people thinking that this city will forever remain unfriendly. Things have changed in this busy city, but people are still not warm and fuzzy. The city rates are high when it comes to intelligent people and perhaps they are just too smart to want to make small talk with visitors. The winters are awful, everything closes early including the bars and red sox fans; and all we will say about that is that you better be cheering for them when they are in town. Visitors should expect that locals will be rushing with heads down, cell phones in hand and far too busy to make new friends. On the plus side, the city is very pretty and if you can find some accepting locals, they promise to be both smart and funny."
