потому же, почему "Tinseltown".
back in Colonial days, Boston was part of the triangular trade, in which slaves in the Caribbean grew sugar cane to be shipped to Boston - to be made into rum - to be sent to West Africa to buy more slaves - to send to the West Indies. because of this trade, the area was chock-full of molasses, and beans baked in the gooey syrup became very popular in Boston, thereby earning the city the nickname "Beantown."

Забыл спросить, а о чем лекция-то была?

Denmark: Globalization and the Welfare state.
Интересна была даже не столько сама лекция, а манера, в которой велась дискуссия.
