05/21/2007 | Yeah I agree we drive like lunatics in Boston. The city's roads have no rhyme or reason and are laid out like spaghetti. For a historical veiwpoint on that see oscars review below, he's right on target. In the northeast people have a manic mentality that they are so busy and have somewhere important to be even if they don't. Me first! Me first!

05/16/2007 |  3 is a ranking I am not going to quibble about in the least. Part of the problem is you're dealing with one of the oldest cities in the country, a packed,relatively small place in terms of square miles, with frankly crazy street patterns- John Winthrop and his gang weren't thinking about the numerous 1 way streets, do not enters, and the like- those cats were thinking about hitting you over the head with the King James and stuffing a squash in your mouth while you're in the stocks, burning witches, churning butter, hanging Quakers and 'Romish' priests on the Common, collecting slaves, mistreating Native Americans, and other 17th century fun for the whole family activities, and really obviously unaware of how your SUV is going to get down Boylston, and even if those were around almost 400 years ago, those folks didn't play, and would've shot out your windshield with an arquebus anyway... These streets were set up so Bessie the Cow could graze, period... The lanes aren't nearly as big as other places, and the East Coast mentality is more fast paced anyway. One of the worst, and the entire greater NYC area from N.J. until about Bridgeport, Conn. is no picnic either.
