Only when I'm drunk or stuck in traffic. Otherwise, I have (mostly) rid myself of the typical Masshole traits, at least I'd like to think so. Where I live now is a lot more similar to places in NH/VT than anywhere in or around Boston.

Though I will admit the amount of interest/wonder attached to the Boston accent/attitude throughout the US is pretty funny. I have heard some hilarious interpretations of what people think Boston is like....one girl at @Adventurous 's wedding said "is it true you could be walking down the street and someone will just yell "FUCK YOU" in your face?" Granted that doesn't never happen, but it's also not like a suitable replacement for waving.



I have family in East Boston, Winthrop and Revere. The best accents and hairdos are from Revere.

I somehow knew you were going to post that.

What kind of friend, no, scratch that, person would I be if I didn't.

It was either that or the recent "guys catching weird fish" video...

Yeah Revere is a special place alright. Worth the trip to the Parkway for Kelly's Roast Beef for the Fried Clams and Onion Rings.... And to get yelled at also. "Hey Phuck Face get away from my Pontiac!"

So many of you people have issues escaping MA, apparently.

There is still a trailer park nestled along the east side of I-225 just north of Colfax but the area has changed a ton with the influx of medical center money. New train line along I-225, for one, and the multibillion campus itself along with the gentrification it brought to the immediate area (hotels, restaurants, etc.).

The buildings pictured are all the small ones for research, admin, etc. The main hospital, Childrens hospital, and the new VA boondoggle hospital are all at the plane of the photographer and further back.

Yeah when I left, it was just on the verge of starting to improve. I actually didn't find it to be too bad of an area, other than a few pockets of shitrats. There was a lot of older people on my street and close to a ton of parks, lots of bike paths and the traffic was never too bad.

I've seen some awesome places in the US the past couple years, but I still don't think I'd leave where I am now for any of it.

Except maybe Bend.....
