You went to Cheers? Did you see the pack of people accross the street camped out just so they could point and laugh at all the worthless tourists who walk out pissed because it looks nothing like the TV show?
Bostonians don't say "wicked" That's a New Hampshire thing. They're our dumb relatives that people from Boston don't speak about. They can't communicate, they all drive trucks with gun racks and they like Nascar
There are many tunnels in Boston, but that monstrosity of the Big Dig has not been finished, nor will it ever be finished. It started in the early nineties and was supposed to be finished in 2001, now it won't be finished until 2008. It's triple budget, and there's curruption abound.
The lesson: Government does NOTHING correct. Not just this government, any government. When things aren't run with profit as the motive, it never gets done on time or of quality. That's the reason public schools suck, social security sucks, welfare doesn't work, etc etc etc etc. If it were run by private organization, it would be done by now, and would be an architectural marvel.
