Yeah. Not Nashville.

Amazon is publicly seeking a home for its second headquarters, and a report from Bloomberg on Tuesday says some execs are already pushing for Boston. The execs reportedly like that Boston is near prestigious schools like MIT and Harvard, which would no doubt help to fill its ranks with highly educated alums with different areas of expertise, whether engineering or the arts. In CNBC's own analysis of where Amazon might put its new HQ, Boston was ranked fifth. The city is also near an airport, one of Amazon's other requirements, and along public transit. Boston has its own train line but is also close to Amtrak for easy access to the rest of the northeast seaboard.

I've never been to Boston but I have seen The Wire, so I feel I can say with confidence that Nashville sucks.

The part where it was supposed to be an "international" airport.

Routes to the Caribbean, Mexico, and one to London aren't extensive enough.

Nola had just as much of a chance at getting it as Nashville.

Only once worse than the Nashville sunshine pumpers are probably the Dallas suburb pumpers

Is Baton Rouge officially out of the running? We could still have a chance.

grads out of college don't give a shite about taxes they care abnout quality of life. you can't recruit someone from NYU to go work in Austin when they got offers to go work in San Fran, LA, Atlanta, Seattle etc

Gravy and John were talking about this on their radio show last week... Gravy was adamant BR was the best place in the world, and when people tried to tell him it won't happen, he would go off on them like the ignorant, delusional idiot he is



Side note... who the hell gives those two idiots a freaking radio show??? Jesus Tapdancing Christ

Didn't take long for a melt from a Texas resident.

Sorry but Boston makes more sense and is a much better city.

No, but you can recruit someone from Houston, Baylor, Texas, Rice, TAMU, SMU, TCU, LSU, Tulane, La Tech, and many others.

Boston is a bigger shithole than Nola? Nola is the biggest shithole of large cities in the country, are you serious?
