Let's post links to local articles about good locations for other games looking to be based in your area I'll starts with a Boston Globe article:

I have 4 players in my Dresden files game and need miniatures to represent them and I thought I'd see if anybody had seen anything useful. I don't want to turn the game into a tactical simulation like some games, but visual aids can help a lot.

I have a hydromancer boat mechanic. I need some sort of modern mechanic. I'm not sure about trying to include the magic portion. I was thinking just some sort of guy with a wrench.

I have a guy with wings; kind of like Angel from the X-Men. Doesn't use any weapons.
I was thinking of using this.

I also have a female alchemist shop owner who is fond of her shotgun. I liked this one.

Finally I have a female Buddhist changeling. To me this may be the hardest because I'm not sure how to do more than just a girl. She is slightly based off of Maenads from greek mythology.

if you or anyone in your group can paint.... Reaper's Chronoscope line of figures has a bunch of modern figures

As for places of interest / places of power (pictures of these iconic areas should help illustrate why):

 - Trinity Church and surrounding area out to the John Hancock Tower
 - Bunker Hill Monument
 - The little duck island in Boston Public Garden
 - Faneuil Hall (as a place of interest, not a place of power)

To add to the events mentioned above: in my version of Boston:

The curse of the Bambino was actually a fey curse, set on the city for not living up to a deal made by our forefathers after they attempted to bribe some of the neutral fey with large amounts of tea (Boston Tea Party anyone?) and the Big Dig was an attempt to siphon the curse off of the city (since it hasn't done anything else other than put the entire commonwealth into debt).  That also leads into 'what famous Bostonions were those to strike a deal with the fey?'  was it Paul Revere? Sam and John Adams (maybe that has something to do wit why his son was also a John Adams)? If you look at the freedom trail mapHere (in PDF) it looks like a Lasso - with Beacon Hill (where the state government is) using the same power supply for something else.

And this goes all the way to current events with Facebook being created in Harvard... maybe it links people in more than just a social networking way, and since the wizards can't get near the computers... they can't investigate it as much as they should.

Edit: and about dunkin's in Boston, one of the guidebooks I ran across last year said that in the 36 mile area comprising of the 'city of Boston' there are 64 Dunkin Donuts.
