Compared to just about every other city I've been in, Boston is really easy to get around in. Ok, sure, I lived most of my life there, but with the T (from whence I get my name), you can get most anywhere. If I moved back, I wouldn't bother with a car unless I lived way out. I rode my bike to and from work for 12 years. Looking back, I was crazy, and it helped, but I never had an accident.
The stories about the cow-paths are true; all the main roads converge on Boston Common which was a cow pasture. Looking at a map of downtown is like looking at shattered glass. And lots of those streets are one way. It's wonderful chaos.
Didn't know you might move there. *sigh* That'd be yet another person I knew and liked that moved somewhere I left. At least there's built in cool people there. :"D
