The intersting thing is, when discussing Boston, no one has mentioned the

real
risk of that city. It's driving. In Boston, it's a blood sport.


I lived there for over 10 years and the driving "skills" I acquired have
been of immeasureable use to me in other cities. NY cab drivers? No
problem! Tame!


Yea, it is amazing. If I drive in Boston like I drive in New Jersey
I'd never get anywhere. If I drive in New Jersey like I drive in
Boston I'd lose my license in a week...


How about the "round about" just on the North side of Boston? I think
three express ways come into it. No stop signs and no stop lights. You
best be in the proper lane at the proper moment, or you either turn
where you don't want to, or you won't be able to turn at all. It was
pretty much OK during the day, but rush hour was an experience.

I remember stopping at a red light and having a kid pass me on the
sidewalk. (in a car)
