I was born and raised in Lynn, MA, attended public schools until I was enrolled into St. Mary's Jr./Sr. Highschool, whose college preparatory team paved and motivated my smooth transition into college. I also attended St. George's Greek Orthodox church throughout my childhood, participated in extracurricular activities like the Harry Agganis basketball tournanents and was fortunate to carry my friendships made during childhood into adulthood. Despite Lynn's bad reputation, the city has just as many attributes to offer it's residents as other favorable and financially secure cities do. We have diverse public and private schooling, parks, restaurants, lounges, clubs, shopping centers, art centers, holiday parades, healthcare, housing and even a beach! The city's leaders are constantly improving the town and making it a comfortable, reputable and more appealing community for residents and families.
I'm a native Bostonian, grew up in Southie. Lynn and Southie have shared the same reputation in past years with crime, drugs, poverty and urban blight. Well, Southie now sells 500 sq. ft. condos for half a million and all is not well here either.
I moved to Lynn because I did research it came out favorable to buy. Beaches, hiking trails, access to Boston, Lynn Auditorium Concerts, Shops on route 1, barber shops, local bodegas, restaurants....I'll keep my feet in Lynn and see how it turns out. Bike paths to the sea and Waterfront Master Plan are gearing up to make it great. Transportation needs to be upgraded and City Hall is working on that!

In complete honesty, I do not enjoy living in Lynn. It is a very tough city and I have encountered several hostile situations while living here for less than months. In my eyes, there are a lot of dangerous people here and I come home every night very late. On the upper hand, Lynn has a beautiful Forest nearby that is a nice place to take a stroll. There are plenty of godo places to eat and an abundance of surrounding beaches.
