Boston Road is Springfield, Massachusetts's principal commercial and retail corridor, located on the eastern edge of the city.[1] The Boston Road neighborhood, historically known as Springfield Plain,[2] is named for being a major waypoint on the Boston Post Road system.
Springfield city parks, including Five Mile Pond and Loon Pond, provide places to swim, fish, boat, and picnic. The High School of Science & Technology and the controversially renovated Putnam Vocational High School are located in this neighborhood.[3]
The neighborhood also features numerous local and chain restaurants and a handful of independently owned restaurants and bars.

This was called in the old days Springfield Plain.
