Our Weekend Road Trip this week takes us to one of my former backyards, Boston. One of the best ways to show you this wonderful old city is to pahk our cah and catch a ride on one of the many duck boats. These crafts are able to maneuver on land and sea which makes the tour quite interesting.

This was a time when the Red Sox were midway through the playoffs and you could smell World Series in the air. At least that s what the natives were saying. What I smelled was that dirty water the Standells crooned about in their song about Boston and its once very polluted river. A large clean up effort paid off and the river is fine, now.
I must clarify, if anyone talks with a thick Boston accent, they re probably from South Boston. Not everyone in the city has that accent. Nor does anyone gain it upon moving here and being here for a few years. At least, not that I m aware of. lol.
Since you re a reader, did you check out the library? They have a very nice Art and Architecture tour of the original building. The new building international association of antarctic tour operators isn t anything exciting, but the old one is quite nice.
I agree, Jordon. We lived there for a few years and never adopted the accent. However, there was plenty of it to go around, especially in the police departments and our realtor. But among my writer friends there (MWA and SinC), and Denene s fellow scientists, there was no Boston accent.
I was born and grew up in Boston, and believe me, it s not just Southie where a heavy accent is heard. It was often possible to tell what part of the city or suburbs someone came from just by the accent alone. When I first moved to the west coast, I was asked to say Pahk the cah in Hahvad yahd a million times. I had to work very hard to get rid of any trace of the regional accent, but I finally managed it!
