Dropkick Lileks Shipping Up to Boston

"I met Wanda when she was employed

Behind the counter at the Route 60 Bob's Big Boy

Fried chicken on the front seat, she's sittin' in my lap

We're wipin' our fingers on a Texaco roadmap

I remember Wanda up on Scrap Metal Hill

With them big brown eyes that make your heart stand still"

Back when he was good.

James, James, James. You like Boston, you hate Boston, you're going to move to Boston. Pick one.

Winters wouldn't be hard compared to Minnetonkistan. The drivers will be. One of the things that seemed unique to Boston and other New England cities is the "curvy" roads that were really just cow paths and farm trails that evolved over time, instead of the grid that's so prevalent in other cities. It's still there in Boston but the curves remain.

As we were listening to you talking about its demise, we drove by a Boston Market in NE Albuquerque. So they’re still out there.

Yes, there's that. It's the least of my concerns at this point, though. Maybe I'll walk and take a bus to the T. It's all up in the air.
