Lawrence is not Greater Boston, but only 35 minutes from downtown. And it’s Quin C, but Z works too.

I'd say so and it's pronounced quinzee

Thank you for caring about how to pronounce Quincy (no "e")--it is Quinzee.

Your next lesson is that the green space in Boston, Cambridge and many other New England towns/cities is the Common, not the Commons, which is a dining hall or meeting space. Some places they call it The Green.

Third lesson: Tremont not "tree-mont," but "Leech-mere, not Lech-mere"

Yes, it's weird but I used to live in Indiana where a town name spelled "Buddha" was pronouned "Bu-dee" Go figure!

>It is spelled Quincy but pronounced Quinzee the same way President Quincy's family pronounced it.

I consider Lawrence the greater Boston area....Lowell too

Considering MHT is officially called Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, I'm not sure.

Quin-Zee as opposed to the Canadian Quin-Zed.

Lol, I live in Bexar County in Texas. It is pronounced Bear County...go figure

I have been wondering that myself,I'm currently reading the biography of JQA and wikipedia said "Kwinzi" in the int. pron. yes Quinzee is right.

Quincy originally part of Dorchester ,then given to Braintree as North Braintree where John Hancock,John Adams and John Q Adams were all born.

Then broke off as the city of Quincy but not named as one would think after JQA but after Colonel John Quincy.

​

I had always thought the towns of Adams /North Adams was named for John Adams but the town originally known as East Hoosac was actually named for Samuel Adams.And Adams and NA split during the industrial revolution.

Makes sense if it was originally pronounced "Behar". Then people got lazy and made it one syllable.

The Wikipedia page is accurate:

It's a huge area and covers even part of New Hampshire.

And also, it's more pronounced Quins-E than Quin-Z even though they're nearly identical.

Greater Boston

>Greater Boston is the metropolitan region of New England encompassing the municipality of Boston (the capital of the U.S. state of Massachusetts and the most populous city in New England) and its surrounding areas. The region forms the northern arc of the Northeast megalopolis, so Greater Boston means both a metropolitan statistical area (MSA) and a combined statistical area (CSA), which is broader.

Quin-c if you talk like a normal person. Quin-z if you talk like an extra from The Town.

Lmao

I’m probably in the minority. I say no as it sits squarely in the Merrimack Valley. Some folks distinguish between Greater Boston and Metro Boston.

Depends- very broadly speaking the census consider the Boston metro area from Boston out to Worcester alllll the way up to Manchester NH. It’s stupidly massive. However, anyone around here wouldn’t consider Lawrence part of Boston but rather it’s own area, or larger the Merrimac Valley.

Inside 95/128 = Greater Boston Area

No lawrence is basically in NH

Merrimack valley yes. Being from the west, most stuff within the Great Wall is "boston"

Like the guys name, phonetically it's kwinzi - straight from the wiki page. You can listen to the audio clip here too.

Lawrence is it's own city, with it's own suburbs like Methuen, North Andover, and Haverhill. It's part of the Boston combined statistical area, but it's not part of Greater Boston.
