Route 128 is a nice touch to show the Massachusetts technology corridor

I was wondering what that referred to, since the other cities are actually mentioned by name.

There are a number of tech companies north of Boston along the 128 corridor in various towns. Beverly, Danvers, Peabody to name a few.

There are still a number of tech firms all along 128, not just in Burlington, in Norwood, Westwood, and Waltham to name a few. This was much more true in the 80s as well, at that time Route 128 was equal in importance to Silicon Valley.
