Boston is so intricate and grid-defying. If I do move here, I think I need to buy a GPS unit to keep from getting lost, lost, lost. lediva says the streets were planned by just building up cow-paths, and it shows. That and the age of the buildings makes me feel a little like I'm walking around the French Quarter everywhere I go; it's just not built for cars, and I kinda like that.

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

Yeah. It's something we're sort of kicking around. Maybe. Maybe not now, maybe later. There's still relationship stuff to hammer out first. And other chaotic influences.

But there's enough cool people in easy distance to make it attractive! Despite fears of the winter...

And every time I see a bus, or the signs for 'em, I think of you!
