27 Of The Worst Things About Boston
There are many things to like about Boston, but this article lists of 27 things to not like about it, including inconvenient bus routes, short subway operating hours, and a lack of street signs.
"There are tons of little things in this city that bring out our worst, whatever its origins, and they’re made all the more aggravating because they could be so easily addressed."
Some of the gripes include a plea to drop the one-sided rivalry against New York, a request for improved bus routes, and a push to actually make that greenway green.
"It should be easy being green -- It isn’t as bad as last year, when it was basically an open-air-dumpster and parking lot for assorted heavy machinery. But the greenway still looks horrible — it’s not green, for starters — and the once-grand vision for the project is slowly but surely being whittled down. C’mon, people; this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to remake the heart of Boston. Please don’t screw it up."
"You’ve lived in Greater Boston for a long time, maybe your whole life, and so it’s all the more galling to find yourself driving around, helplessly lost. You know everything would be fine if you could just get your bearings, but you can’t. Why? Because there are NO STREET SIGNS."
