True, but if someone tells you "I live/work/am located in Taunton/Dedham/Brockton, which is located near Boston", and you fly into "Manchester/Boston" and then find out you have to drive 60-80 miles to get there, how happy will you be?

Actually PVD is closer, but it is not called Providence/Boston. (It is located in Warwick, just south of Providence - but it is not called Warwick/Providence!)
