When I moved to Boston a few months ago, I had no idea about where to go, what to do or for that matter where the hell to find my local utility companies. So I did a search and up came this great site - Boston Central. Mother of two, Stacey Sao, was in the same boat, after moving to New England from Texas. Where to find, well...anything? So Boston Central was born. Weekly "happenings" newsletters for things to do in and all over Massachusetts for families. But it's more than that. Need to find your local cable company? How about good shopping, restaurants, healthcare services or even resources for child care? Two words. BOSTON CENTRAL!
