...great thing about Boston: its mass transit system leaves Boston. With some pocket change, you can go rock-climbing in the suburbs, gallery-hopping in Providence, thoroughbred-racing in East Boston and even Revolutionary-War-reenacting in Lexington...

It is something like the difference between New York City (with its effective mass-transit system) and Los Angeles. I remember waiting for a long time for buses in suburban California.

"Greeks love a party," explained Maikl Tzamaloukas, 78, before launching into a popular song from his youth--"Go, go/Get the last train!"--and dancing away down the platform...
