I Grew Up With A Christmas Tree,

2004 Was A Great Year For Boston! The Patriots Won The Super Bowl! Boston Hosted Its First National Political Convention! And - The Red Sox Won The World Series!

Boston Is The Engine Of The State's Economy.

It's Like An Alcatraz Around My Neck

And For The City's Birthday, We Will Host Events In Every Neighborhood Of The City, Inviting All Of Our Residents To Share In The Celebration Of Boston's Great Epic - The Story Of Neighbors Who Support One Another Where It Matters Most.

I'm Proud To Report That In 2004 Alone, We Approved 3,600 New Units Of Housing - Our Best Year Ever!
