The Boston Girl Tee from G2BH reads: There's Nothing Common About a Boston Girl!
My Boston experience began in the summer between my Junior and Senior year in College. I had done an internship in Washington DC in June and July, and spent August visiting friends, including 2 weeks at my friend Tig's fraternity house he was spending the summer in. A total blast. Saw all the sights and took the "T" all over. Couldn't wait to go back! Over the years, I ended up back in Boston many times, for work, a girlfriend, and in '07 and '08 I visited my very best Boston friend, Heidi, who is like, Miss Boston, and we went to all these other sights and another game at Fenway (See "I Left My Heart in Fenway Park" and "Cape Cod, It's One Big Clambake" for more info) -- anyway, what I gather is: Bostonians are incredibly proud of their city and think it is totally and absolutely THE place to be, and, ahem that it is far superior in every way possible to _ew _ork. I'm a big history buff too, so I really enjoyed all the Revolutionary era sights, the Freedom Trail, Faneuil Hall, Old North Church, etc. A few things I took note of over the years and just think are funny. There's a T Station called ALEWIFE. What the heck kind of a name is ALEWIFE? (A fish, I'm told) Also, I have actually been to BRAINTREE. What a name for a town. I just picture a tree, filled with Brains hanging from the branches like pieces of shriveled fruit. It's a nice place, but I would just never live there because of that.
Boston-wise, I also think of my bud Tony F and his New England accent, Harold and his Red Sox cap, and how I got to walk a girl "home along Mt. Vernon Street" - which is a line from one of my favorite obscure 90s songs, "Kitchen" by The Lemonheads. (Great song, great album, "It's A Shame About Ray") I also like the Pilgrim Hat signs for the Mass Pike, I like Honey Dew Donuts, I love Storrow Drive (the room I crashed in at Tig's place overlooked Storrow Drive and I went to sleep to the sound of the cars all night), I know the NECCO stands for New England Confectionery Company, and I still call I-95 128. And man, did I love Cheers. I'm pretty sure it was fictional, but I loved those guys. And The Departed rocked. Oh, and 2 Boston bands, in my opinion, produced the 2 greatest rock debut albums of all time, The Cars, The Cars and Boston, Boston.
I could write a novel here, but I'll stop. Boston, I like you alot. And Boston Girls, I love you. From what it sounds like, it's great to be a Boston Girl.
