| Welcome to Boston!!! (...) The easiest (and cheapest) way in my opinion is to take the Subway (We call it the "T" ). It is very safe and easy to use as long as you don't have a problem or fear of Subway's (Some, like my father do so I just thought (...)

Plus the trains are much tighter headings than the 1/2 hour heading a shuttle is likely to be on. A cab (...)

Well, I WILL admit I had a mockup of a green line car partially completed but I just could not get a center pivot that looked good from the outside, worked, and would at least allow a minifig (turned sideways so he was only 1 stud wide) to (...)
