    I’m a kid dream to go to Boston...just because one day I saw a coffee shop on google street. I believe it’s close to Cambridge area...and since that Moment I think I fall in love with Boston city.... it’s very expensive for me to get that ticket but I will. Look forward for my dream trip to that coffee shop.

    Wicked nice. I grew up in Boston, but moved out here in 92. Missed the Big Dig, really odd to not see the Central Artery. I worked on Broad St a block from it, I could see the cars on it from the front windows in the studio. I'd walk under it to go to the Store 24 in front of the Aquarium, grab a beer and some chips, then sit behind the Aquarium and watch the harbor. This has made me homesick. Very nice, thanks for posting it.

    Thanks, the reason I shoot street tours when I do is because crawling along in heavy traffic does not make for a good video, plus I could not cover as much ground within a reasonable time frame. Also, the things you mentioned about the "essence" of Boston, while interesting in person, do not translate well to video due to a stationery camera. I will continue to do street tours in the lightest traffic possible as I feel it allows people to see more of the city in an uncluttered setting.

    Well it's not only a good tour in Boston! It's an amazing city! I think that it's one of the most beautiful i' ve ever seen. Εven if it is a big city with very movement, you can see green everywhere. In each place among roads. Just the perfect city to live. The city that exists in the beauties of nature, where you can enjoy persons and calm.Everywhere trees, beauty, serene life. Even you are alone, in this city you are not alone!!!!

    Ghost ramps are actually relatively common, more than you would think. In many highly dense areas of the United States, interstates were funded and planned but never built due to community opposition. But by the time they were cancelled, sometimes the interchanges were already partially built. It was more cost-effective to block off and ignore the ghost ramps than to demolish them, and possibly risk damaging the rest of the structure.

    5:38 Speaking of T Stations, you should mention that the TD Garden also has the MBTA North Station, also the southern terminus for the Amtrak Downeaster.
    6:19 Now that's a long on-ramp! I bet I could drive it at 62MPH. On the other hand, if I were in control, I would finally build this ramp and highway, and actually make it I-89 from here, charging up through Cambridge and Arlington, up to where US-3 would be at the I-95 interchange in Burlington.

      +Blake “NFLweatherlover2014” Steenrod Not even close. Columbus Ohio is not very big and it is plain and lacks character. The infrastructure in Boston is a world apart from Columbus. Not anywhere close to being in a similar category. The infrastructure in Boston is some of the most complex in North America.
