weathafella Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 Ok Steve and Garth. We have at least one T pass (generic) in the house that we can use for both of you plus I have a senior pass that the T card reader will only allow for one fare every 45 minutes or something like that. I only use it Fridays. A buck a trip...not bad...lol. I'll walk your though the urban jungle,,,lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just seems that the newer fare system is not very user friendly to out of towners any more. It was not just us that day, but many people at Government center who were trying to figure the damn thing out. Back in the day I knew Boston pretty well when driving, and had all kinds of places that I was able to sneak around and park at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalcottWx Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 baring massive city traffic we should be in town around 530. First time in a big city since 2012 I may have claustrophobia.I'm just fired up about the fact I can be at Clarke's in under 20 minutes really and don't have to drive. Funky Murph's I couldn't drink too much with the drive back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 Ok guys I just scoped out the Brookline Village parking situation. Webster st lot has some spaces but also some restricted after 8pm for overnight parkers. Same for kent st lot. But of interest is there are tons of meters on station street, Kent street, Harvard street, etc. you don't have to pay past 6pm per signs and as long a your car is gone by 2am you're good. I'll PM my cell and text me when you're getting close (within 20 minutes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Miser Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 what if I drive all the way in,don't mind paying a parking garage Let's do it. Plenty of garages nearby. Getting in may be a small challenge, but doable. No Celtics, or Bruins, so leaving will be pretty easy. What do you think Jerry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Celtics, or Bruins, so leaving will be pretty easy. What do you think Jerry? A little secret of mine is to try and park on New Chardon St. It's close to Fanueil Hall and I have a lot of luck finding meters there. I think it's meters until 8pm. Bring quarters. It's the Holidays so luck might not be there, but it's worth a shot. Beware garages. The one near the Aquarium is a rip off. There are a couple near Fanueil Hall that are reasonable.

Connects between causeway and new Chardon and I've parked there sometimes when I'm dining in the north end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 Also parking at night after 5-6 is way less expensive at garages during the week. Look for street parking first though. Gonna be a fun night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeus Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Tonight's the night folks! Looking forward to seeing everyone. Looks like we have apm, Scott, Will, Ray and gf, Steve, Garth, Don, Bob (butterfish coming with you?), Jay, outside chance of Zeus, me. Anyone else? Come one come all! The odds of me making it to this are basically non-existent at this point... the year-end workload is astronomical and I'll probably be at the office for the vast majority of the day. Then I will want dinner, sex, and sleep. And none of you can give me those things. Have an excellent time, think fondly of me, and drink as much as is needed to properly celebrate the early spring now depicted on all models.
