Boston

[slang]

I used to live outside of Boston a couple of years ago. The whole place was overwhelming to me and I hated nearly every minute that I was (sober) there.

There are a couple things that I do know that might help you though.

First off, I wouldn't look for downtown Boston to try to find something reasonably priced. I would look at the subway route and look for something close.

they call the subway "the tee", here's a map

The tee rail there is normally resonably clean, on time, and the conductors are not normally high on pot.

Ok, maybe they are but it doesn't seem to be a real problem.

I didn't see Revere listed on the T-rail station map but a search on hotels dot com produced a reasonably priced Hotel there.

It looks like a nice place not too far away

Also, you might want to check the status of what some of us call "the big screw" aka The Big Dig. It's a massive black hole project for the un-....er, a big project that will aid the flow of traffic in the city. They may be in your way at some point, might be a good idea just to see what is up...and where.

14 billion dollar union project

On the serious side, it can be a great place. There aren't a lot of places that I remember visiting, but if you have wheelbarrow loads of cash and like cities, it's nice.

Oh, the Hancock building. That's one that I do remember. It's one of the tallest buildings in Boston and the view is awesome. The elevator ride up was interesting.

Have fun....BYOB
