It also occurred to me that Boston doesn't have a Gubernatorial...MASSACHUSETTS DOES.

To a Bostonian, the rest of MA is a suburb of Boston, even if it does happen to be North Adams.

Wrong. Anything south of 495 belongs to me...er...is a suburb of Providence. Except for Fall River and New Bedford. They're suburbs of Portugal. And the Cape and Islands is another country entirely.

So stop being greedy, Foxboro is OURS.

It's a deal, as long as you take Brockton, too.

Suu

Oh no, Brockton is ALL yours.


Only 495 to the Pike, And from the Pike to 146 belongs to me. I dare not touch Worcester.

Uh... so Millbury to Taunton?


Go ahead, take it.  That gives me Weymouth, Scituate, Plymouth, and Duxbury.  THE OYSTERS ARE MINE!

Could I politiely ask whichever one of you is responsible for the random spaghetti that is the road and highway system in Boston to fix that shit?  Or is that you way of dealing with us Northern folk?

I like it that way.  It makes driving in any other city a piece of cake.

I just don't drive in Boston. I can get around faster and more efficiently on foot or by train.

Well, I can certainly agree with that.  Thank goodness we only go there once a year.  And we stayed at a little inn on Beacon St which was pretty calm traffic wise.  It's just getting to that point that can be a little hairy, especially when you have the more experienced Bostonites breathing down your back.

Driving through Boston is easy enough for a Bostonian, and I don't even really drive that often. Otherwise you're pretty much just going to have to learn it.

Did you stay in Brookline? Beacon St. Gets a little calmer down that way, and is within walking distance to Fenway (and by walking distance I mean about 30 minutes/jump on the C line.)

Yes, though we weren't that far from Fenway.  It was only like a 15 minute walk to Fenway.  We found this great little inn called the Beacon St. Inn, I think it's at 1087 Beacon St or something like that.  The rooms are a little pricey but our Red Sox tickets were free so it evens out in the end.
