Okay, so the kid who delivered my lunch randomly launched into this spiel that he wouldn't believe that Osama was dead until he saw a picture of dead Osama.

Boston Questions!
What do we think a taxi from South Street Station to House of Blues/Fenway Park would cost me?
What do we think a taxi from Hynes Convention Center to House of Blues/Fenway Park would cost me?
(i.e. is it worth taking the T for that first leg)
And finally, how DOES one get a cab in Boston? Is this a hailing procedure or does it involve a phone call?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Our wings are not tired.
Trudy, you can easily walk from Haynes to Fenway in like 20 minutes or less. I've walked it lots of times.
(It took 20 minutes in snow/ice conditions.)

It's a nice, flat, sidewalk-ed route? My on-the-mend feet still have me a bit wary.

I'd say in the $20 realm, but it's been a long time since I took a cab in Boston so it might be more. The T would be cheaper, but it would involve switching trains at Park Street (Red to Green; Green to Hynes stop, or Green to Prudential, which is connected to the Hynes, if you get on an E train instead of B, C or D). Time of day will determine how long either take, but if it's anywhere near rush hour they're both going to take a while.

No major hills, and there are sidewalks. I don't know if there's any construction going on around there though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, South Station to Fenway is probably $20 in a cab, and almost definitely worthwhile with a gimpy foot and luggage and whatever. (The bus and T aren't that close together, if that's how you're getting into town.)
Hynes to Fenway is less than a mile, and should be an easy walk. Or a cheap ($6?) cab.

Then we can have fun quoting him out of context. GOOSE MEET GANDER.
Re: Boston Peeps
Sweet. Thanks. I'll have a small bag so I'll likely bus to T to T to feet it.
