Its pretty bad to live in Boston on that most dreaded of days. I will be blocked off from crossing the street right in front of my house and the next street over: Boylston and Hereford street. Its just a real nightmare.
So many drunk kids urinating, vomiting all over the place. Fights everywhere, bars with music cranked into overdrive.
One year I crossed Boylston Street in order to get some shipping done at the Prudential PO. I just barely made it back across the street before it was closed down for the day.
I doubt I will leave the house at all. Its a good thing I work at home.
