I don't get the city either. They can't use numbers on their streets to make life easier, but they can number the public alleys. I've lived here for over two years and I still can't figure it out.
For serious? I totally only brought a light coat under the theory of "how bad can it be?" At least there's a mall across from the office. *hugs Lechmere*
Oh, hey, you're not too far from my office (in Kendall). If you want to do lunch coffee (edited because I forgot that eating out is often difficult for you, and eatery choices in the area are kind of limited) or something whenever you're up, let me know. It would be cool to meet you in person. :)
Weather: looks right now like it will be a cold rain tomorrow (possibly snow out in central MA, where I live), though they're unsure whether the system will break up before getting to us or not. Today is supposed to be partly sunny.
I'm working in the Kendall Square area, nowadays. If you're interesting in getting coffee or somesuch, ping me (this trip or some other), and we'll figure something out.
Pardon me while I enjoy continuing to be amused about the fact that it took someone in VA to introduce us when our social and professional circles overlap in so damn many way.
Well he was on the periphery of it, and I was in the middle of it, but freakishly, one of the saner people involved, and we knew each other in passing in the midst of some stuff that was very "what the shit is this?" and involved an international incident with the Netherlands and some US hookers.
Wait, are you in Cambridge near the Galleria? I'm on the other side of Kendall near MIT. If you end up needing anything, let me know. PM for my mobile if anything comes up.
My mother grew up in the Boston area, so whenever we visited while I was growing up, my dad would try to get her to give him driving directions and she had no idea, having always taken public transportation.
I lived in Cambridge for eight years and never learned how to drive there; just took the T everywhere. But my theory is that Boston is full of inhospitable New Englanders who don't want to give anyone who hasn't lived there all their lives a break.

Me: "These fuckin' Boston streets -- even if I use GPS I always get turned around."
Beantown Native: "The streets were originally --"
Me: "YES I KNOW ABOUT THE FUCKIN' COWPATHS. PUT FUCKIN' SIGNS ON THE FUCKIN' COWPATHS!"
Also all of the streets are one way in the wrong direction!
