Boston Touambers?
« on: February 18, 2008, 06:38:23 pm »
I'll be in bean-town the first week of March and was wondering if any of you rock and roll faggots wanted to buy me a pint while I was in town.

Anyone here live in Boston?

Dude, nobody lives in Boston. 

I don't just mean nobody here.  I mean nobody at all.  I know people who were born there, but they all left to live in places that don't suck. 

Screw you, Boston.

my dad's whole family lives in Boston, actually.

And my future roommate is from there. Or, rather, he says he is from Boston, and I told my dad where he lives, and he scoffed. "that isn't Boston. that's the suburbs."

i always wonder what my dad sounded like back when he had a Boston accent. Based on his sister/parents/etc, it was horrific.

One of my coworkers is from Watertown*.  He has a classic New Englander accent, but its gotten mellowed by the need to be understood by Westerners.  He still says "bawthroom" though, which is oddly difficult to process when you hear it.  Once again though - he's from there, not living there...

So what's wrong with that?

I lived in the Boston area for a long time, but it was a long time ago now. I wish I had left for someplace that didn't suck, though.

Three of the four people I know who were from Boston, I know because they moved to Virginia. The other one I met in Charlotte, before he went back.

If Jough had posted "North Carolina Touambers?," this thread would rival "Today I'm gonna..." in length.

Boston's a great place to go if you want to get into a fight for no reason. Is that why you went, Jough?

Did that question even need to be asked?

Boston is also a great place to go if you are of the opinion that the traffic is terrible or drivers are insane in Southern California or the NYC/NJ areas and you want to be proven horribly wrong. There are cabbies from Calcutta who see the traffic in Boston and just look at you and laugh.

It is like the mind-bendingly bad driving situations of a European city except instead of where Europeans are sensible enough to at least use a lot of motorcycles and scooters and stuff, it is all Large Deadly Cars.

LFM and I agree on transportation again. I was born in boston and I have been there many times. The traffic is absolutely more horrible than NYC. The city is built on some horrible non-rational non-grid pattern that makes getting form A to B a costly task. Mega Old cities are designed around ancient farm paths and shit that doesn't pan out to today.
