I always hear people on here talking about this thing like its some interconnected huge area that functions as one. I never hear anyone here say "oh ya know I'm flying into the Bost-Washi megalopolis tommorrow" or something so its kinda weird to me?
I dunno...does it exist to non eastern-boosters?
is washington dc(below mason dixon line) anything like boston?
Yes it does exist and I learned that in middle or high school in CA. There are several megalopolis regions in the US such as the San-San in CA but none of the other terms/names are as popular as the Bos-Wash term used.

Yes, it exist.
Washington DC and Boston are about 430 miles apart.
So, in a 430 mile span you have Washington DC, Baltimore, Philly, NYC and Boston. As you can see, that is a lot of cities to have in that small of a span
Well, considering that the word megalopolis was actually redefined and used as a direct description for the BosWash megalopolis, then yes, it exists BY DEFINITION. It's a bit like when someone looked at a rose and coined the name "rose" for it and then it caught on and people called a rose a rose before someone asked, "Is a rose a rose?"
NOW, I see the point of this thread. I remember your post from the past.
This thread is nothing more for you to boost the west coast and put down the northeast.
darn , ya got me! ..nah i kid , i kid...but really
In theory then, Cardiff Wales, London, Birmingham , Manchester, Liverpool, and throw in Paris (only a couple hundred miles away) are one "megalopolis" right? plz confirm, kthnxbye
