So, does anyone here have any idea if there's a chance of seeing from the North End, or do I shake my fist at my preference for living in areas with light pollution?

Unfortunately this this article is full of inaccuracies, the SWPC isn't forecasting activity tonight that's strong enough to be seen anywhere near Boston. Last night, the lights were visible in southern Maine, but the solar storm has diminished significantly from last night. Even then, I had to drive two hours north of the city to get enough dark sky to see anything.

Ah, butts. I figured it was a long shot for anyone not in the city, but not an hours-long long shot.

The article doesn't say near Boston. It says they were visible in Massachusetts, because they were visible last night in places like Greenfield and Amherst. The headline says Massachusetts, but the article itself says New England repeatedly, and it doesn't mention Boston at all.

True, but I was trying to address OP's question about visibility in Boston. The article's claim that the lights could be visible in New England tonight is pretty misleading though, since the max Kp forecasted is 4.67. That has the potential to produce camera-visible auroras low on the horizon in far northern Maine, but certainly nothing visible to the eye.

Bahahaha

It's always too bright even if very very rarely it isn't too far south. Lit skies prevent you from seeing the Milky Way, shooting starts and the aurora. You need to drive 2+ hours away from all the people to really be able to see through the sky.
