About Me |
|
| Welcome to Bawstin
For those of you who have never been to "Bawstin", this is a good
guideline. I hope you will consider coming to "Beantown" in the
Near future. For those who call New England home, this is just plain
great!
Information on Boston and the surrounding area:
There's no school on School Street, no court on Court Street, no dock on
Dock Square, no water on Water Street.
Back Bay streets are in alphabetical "oddah": Arlington, Berkeley,
Clarendon, Dartmouth, etc.
So are South Boston streets: A, B, C, D, etc.
If the streets are named after trees (e.G. Walnut, Chestnut, Cedar),
you're on Beacon Hill.
If they're named after poets, you're in Wellesley.
Massachusetts Ave is Mass Ave; Commonwealth Ave is Comm Ave; South Boston
is Southie. The South End is the South
End. East Boston is Eastie. The North End is east of the former West End.
The West End and Scollay Square are no more; a guy
Named Rappaport got rid of them one night. Roxbury is The Burry, Jamaica
Plain is J.P.
How to say these Massachusetts city names correctly: **Say it wrong, be
shunned**

Don't wear Orange in Southie on St. Patrick's Day.
Things you should know:
There are two State Houses, two City Halls, two courthouses, two Hancock
buildings (one old, one new for each).
The colored lights on top the old Hancock tell the weatha':
"Solid blue, clear view...."
"Flashing blue, clouds due...."
"Solid red, rain ahead...."
"Flashing red, snow instead...." - (except in summer; flashing red means
the Red Sox game was rained out)
Route 128 is also I-95 south. It's also I-93 north.
The underground train is not a subway. It's the "T", and it doesn't run
all night (fah chrysakes, this ain't Noo Yawk).
Order the "cold tea" in China Town after 2:00 am you'll get a kettle full
of beer.
