  • one of the few portions of the country thatll call places to get beer a package store. my friends back in syracuse had no fucking clue what i was talking about.

    I knew what a packy was but we never call it that in lynn, it was just the licka stow-ah.

    oh yeah and may I add that after the holidays, staying with my parents and seeing my relatives, my boston accent comes back into full force (I actually lost it while living in cambridge, all upscale transplants there). I realized I was saying things like, "dad, it's wicked freakin dahk in heah."

    No, the quaint $6.00 cannoli with $7.50 espresso is for tourists, the real north end is for Bostonians.
    Are there two north ends? Is there a place to get a $3.00 cannolli and a $2.50 espresso in the North End that will appeal to you as a Bostonian? When I was in the North End that's what I ate. Am I missing something here?
    There is no such thing as leftover pizza. There is now pizza and later pizza. - anonymous

    My guide worked in Boston, and lived one of those little boat trips away. She was very cool, made Boston seem very welcoming to me.

    born and raised 25 miles west of boston, and i can safely say that even living here, massachusetts has some of the rudest people in the country, which is a damn shame, because i love new england.
