Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oh how I wish it were universally known that one should stand on the right and allow walkers to pass on the left.
Well, I mutter it outloud every opportunity I get these days, so at least I'm doing my part.
On days with evening Cubs games, the CTA Red Line often gets tons of people riding it to the game who don't normally take the train.
Ugh. A friend was coming over last night and ended up getting off the train, walking a mile and taking two buses as soon as she realized it was a game day.
The NY subway has never made as much sense to me as I was sure it should have.
I found myself a bit confused the last time I had to take the subway in New York. A lot had changed in the three years I'd been gone.
I don't mind the Salem tourism for all months that do NOT rhyme with "Shocktober." The Halloween stuff is just *so* overwhelming and in a very area, it really, really impacts daily life (mostly weekends.)
I don't mind the summertime tourism because summertime kind of makes me a tourist in my own town, in that "gee, what a cool place this is!" way. Though, this year, I've discovered that tour guides are huckstering much more aggressively and it makes me uncomfortable on Essex Street.
I find myself confused most weekends and I not only have lived here for the last 10 years, but also get weekend advisory emails. I have learned to just give myself over to the MTA overlords and go with what presents itself after making what I feel are informed guesses as to a route.
Allyson, you oughta be proud! It's awesome.
Ooh, Allyson, that's so very cool!
add to the list of things I do not understand, I can access flickr from work, but not LJ pics.
Congrats Allyson.
I am sitting at work, not working, stressing about my cat, who wouldn't eat much this morning. I really want to go home.

I mind because it means tourist season lasts an extra two months than is normal for most parts of New England (I'm not counting ski season). Usually once Labor Day passes, things die down (apart from the few weeks when the leaves change), but in Salem that's when it starts revving up to peak.
