Damn Brookline
So how was Boston?
Very cool...even cooler that I traveled there with my babydoll.
Yes, I have a "cute pet name" for my beloved girlfriend. Deal with it.
Other than the driving and parking in Boston, Boston was a good time. Let me tell you about the little town of Brookline, MA. It's a nice suburb of Boston, quiet and close to downtown. The problem is with the parking. They have parking available on the streets, free of charge, except from 2AM to 6AM. If you're caught then, you are towed.
You CAN buy a parking pass for the night from the Police station, and then park in one of the approved lots. But the lots become public parking at 9AM and you have to move your car, or it will be ticketed. And of course, you cannot buy multiple days worth of parking passes from the police station.
So every night after 9PM, I would have to drive the car to the Police Officer Station, buy my pass, find a free spot in one of the few parking lots, and then walk back 15 minutes to the B&B we were staying at. In the morning, before 9AM, I'd have to walk back 15 minutes to the car, park it in front of the house, and then walk to the green line T stop.
UGH!
I'm writing this so maybe someone who's thinking of going to Boston and staying in Brookline...doesn't.
Or doesn't take a car to Boston at all.
....grumble....damn Brookline....
