You Wouldn't Believe How Many Lobsters (and People) Live Between Boston and D.C.!
Ah, the ever-present question for anyone road-tripping between chowder and cherry blossoms: just how many folks are out there sharing the I-95 tarmac with you? Buckle up, because we're about to dive into the population pool of the BosWash Megalopolis (yes, that's a real thing, not a fancy coffee order).
So, How Many Humans Are We Talking About?
Hold onto your hats (or, you know, those souvenir lobster hats you just bought in Maine), because the answer is a whopping over 50 million people! That's a number that would make even a New York City pigeon do a double-take.
That's More People Than...
- You could fit in the entire state of California (with a little extra room to spare for some epic dance parties).
- Have ever been to a Taylor Swift concert...combined (although that might be a close call).
- Live in Australia (except for all those awesome koalas, we still love you guys).
But Wait, There's More (Because There Always Is)
This giant crowd of people isn't just sprawled out along the highway. The BosWash Megalopolis stretches from the charming streets of Boston all the way down to the historic monuments of Washington D.C. That's a bunch of cities, suburbs, and even some cheeky little towns all crammed together.
Think of it as:
- One giant, never-ending block party (though hopefully with less spilled punch).
- A human centipede of awesomeness (please don't visualize that too literally).
- A testament to humanity's love of good seafood and impressive architecture.
Okay, Okay, Enough Jokes. But Seriously, How Do They All Fit?
The BosWash Megalopolis is like a masterfully packed suitcase – everything has its place. You've got the big hitters like New York City and Philadelphia, bustling hubs of finance and culture. Then there are the charming college towns, the scenic coastal communities, and the quiet bedroom suburbs. It's all about variety, folks!
