Does anyone have one of these for Boston? That would be interesting.

Nope, doesn't even ring a bell. I'm more in the paterson area. But then again, it could be that I'm kinda young:winkwink:

I have an office in Boston and the only thing i can say is the traffic sucks:2 cents:

You drink at bars called "Bud on Tap" or "Old Style"-no names, just beer signs out front.
You know "Windy City" is not a reference to the weather.

It's January and you see someone's kitchen chair in the street, and you know that if you put it back on the sidewalk you will be shot on sight.
When the city that works doesn't work, and you sadly say that it wouldn't be like that "if The Mayor were still alive"
You live two miles from work and it takes an hour to drive there.
You don't flinch when you pay the fifth toll of your 45-minute car ride on the highway.

You've paid $105 for towing, $30 for more than one "street cleaning" ticket, $58 for a city vehicle sticker, and $70 for a license plate sticker -- and chalk it all up to "neighborhood taxes."
You pluralize grocery stores and retail chains: "I'm going to Jewels"; "I bought it at Targets"; "I couldn't find parking at Wal-Marts"

You're not ashamed of wearing a big fur Russian hat, or a head sock with one hole in it, in public from November through March.
You knew what a "Shawon-O-Meter" was for.
You can decipher a WMAQ traffic report, but your out of town passenger thinks it's just jibberish.
You have fond memories of radio stations with 3-letter call signs.
You learned your interstate highways by name and not the number.
Driving under an "Oasis" doesn't seem unusual to you.
When the visiting team hits a ball out of the park you expect to see it sail back in moments later.
You can finish this phrase: five eight eight
Grocery stores are the only type of retail entity that get a definite article: "I'm going to The Jewel" or "I'll stop by The Dominick's on the way home."
You give driving distances in minutes or blocks, never in miles.

You've had a Polish on Maxwell.
You would never ruin a good hot dog by putting ketchup on it.

I assume thats the old retired ladies that can't see over the steering wheel?, lol, that is definately true!

It's been like that for a long time. I remember way back my dad calling them lizards. (cause they all had lots of loose skin sagging on their neck like the little lizards we have all over here do. lol Sounds mean now that I look back on it.

There was also this huge housing developement down here called "Leisurville". Some EMT friends I knew nicknamed it "Siezurville".
