You’re operating under the assumption that
-
we have the ability to make good decisions
-
we have the political will to force through good decisions
-
we have the capability to act on said decisions
Judging by the MBTA, big dig, and every other infrastructure project in North America in the last fifty years, what you’re saying is crazy talk

Why not take the shuttle to the blue line, take blue to State St or Government Center? From there, you could take the red line to Harvard for the 71 sure. I remember the few times I took the Silver line to/from the airport, it was absolutely awful.

The cost of the flight was probably the same as to get to Watertown.

At that point, you could also just take the shuttle to the Airport stop on the blue line for free.

Happened to me one night when I got off the plane at 11:30pm. The lot was such a clusterfuck I couldn't get a rideshare for over an hour.

It's insane that there is no train that actually runs to Logan.

We desperately need a real subway connection directly inside Logan like many other cities have. The silver line is a fucking disgrace and shouldn't even count as bus rapid transit as it literally gets stuck in traffic! It's a glorified taxi at that point.

Reply to comment by Master_Dogs in Quebecoise/Montreal poutine in Boston? by goldeneye0
I don't have a spreadsheet for other Canadian delicacies. I only made one for Poutine 'cause I organized a food crawl for my friends.
With that in mind, I don't like Ketchup Chips. But I know that Market Basket carries Humpty Dumpty chips, a Canadian brand - and I've bought the All Dressed chips before. The MB in Chelsea (my local one) definitely has a few styles. And it makes me nostalgic for Decarie all-dressed hot dogs in Mtl... excellent drunk food :)
I usually get my diary at Wegman's if I can, as it mostly comes from Upstate New York cows and I like to support my ol' homeland.
I wouldn't know if there is a specific difference in the curds between our country and Canada's - but there will be a difference in brands. So I guess keep trying different brands until you find what you like? Otherwise, you'll just have to order online.
There's Turenne Bagels in Union Square for Montreal-Style. Though I prefer New York Style bagels. Same when it comes to Smoked Meat Sandwiches v Pastrami.
Other goodies.. umm.. BeaverTails, I guess? But it's fried dough and I don't seek that out.

You're asking why the city that doesn't have a North station-South station connection doesn't have a people mover from the airport?

Skip the Small Talk is great, especially if you’re social/outgoing enough to follow up with people. I’ve heard good things about Venture Cafe on Thursday evenings at Cambridge Innovation Center (CIC), but haven’t attended myself.

The blue line was first.
The airport came along years later.

It is not better than any NYC sandwich places. Especially not at that price.

The issue is that the one stop from the airport took OP about an hour. Once you get out of the pain tunnel and onto surface streets and a dedicated right of way, the silver line is only a few minutes out from South Station.

Similar to how the Olive Garden is "fine Italian dining".

Not Boston but there used to be a place in Bridgewater named “Montreal French Fries” about a decade ago. Probably the best poutine I’d ever had. Small venue ran by a Canadian guy. Miss that place.

If you’re at the Arboretum you should also check out Jamaica Pond. There’s a nice path around it that’s very similar to the Chestnut Hill Reservoir.
