Why play with roller-coasters when you can play with transit infrastructure?

There's an USset addon with Boston & Maine and MBTA equipment.

Thanks for ruining my productivity today, asshole.

I have trouble believing rents are that cheap in Brookline and even Allston.

Hm, I guess my apartment in Brighton is actually a deal then.

Do they have one for Manhattan?

Skewed b/c it's "rent per bedroom" not "rent for a one bedroom" - that's why it seems low. A two bedroom will cost you less per bedroom than a one bedroom.

What's with the random red shaded areas by Roxbury, Franklin Field South and Upham's Corner? Did they mix this up with the homicide map?

We technically live in "Roxbury Crossing" (it's really just 50 steps off Huntington Ave even before it gets sketchy) and our rent for our 1BR is $1600.

Nope, sorry!

Well folks, we have a storm of major apportion on our hands, as Mumbles has been known to say.

I'd love to see this post-GLX. You can see how Somerville is obviously seeing from Cambridge spillover, and Cambridge is obviously seeing great benefit from the Red Line/77/1 corridor. I'm amazed at the giant hole over by Tufts. I doubt that's going to last too long in a post-GLX world.

Anyone have a good guess where scenes from this video were taped; specifically, the alley shots? Looks like it could be South End or Beacon Hill. (At 0:12 and 2:58)

Attempted Suicide at Trenton Transit center...

Gunning for a job at the Herald? Seriously, I doubt anyone here wants to see shit like that.

agrees with kmp1284 (and that doesn't happen very often)

Thirded. Nexis, you post some weird shit.
