Lived in Boston 20+ years ago. Remember DH driving us somewhere and we were going through a green light. Out nowhere this car runs the red light and we almost t-bone the sucker (he was going very fast). He jammed on the brakes and gave US the finger! Most of the crazy drivers in Florida are from the Boston area and NY. :wall:

I dropped off my wife once at a store in downtown Boston. I planned to go around the block and pick her up after she paid a bill.

After spending enough time wandering about the maze downtown and finally getting back to the same spot as would have taken to drive to Toronto, we were reunited. The first thing she said to me was "Dr Livingston, I presume".

Cheers

I drove in Boston while the big-dig was in progress.
That was a lot of fun (not). But San Francisco was more interesting...
I thought if I stopped the car at an intersection, we'd slide back down the hill.

That happened to me when we first moved here in 1981. Reminds of the scene in European Vacatin, "Big Ben, Parliament . . ."
