Speak Stiltedly and Wear a Yellow Shirt

Seema has been spotted in Boston, mainly shopping at CVS and Buck-a-Book, and travelling by antique el and elevator. Speaking of which, I was sad to hear that the last stretch of el (that is, the elevated Green Line tracks between North Station and Lechmere) is coming down and being replaced by a tunnel sometime this year or next. I suppose if they’re burying the rat’s nest of highways out there in the Big Dig, the el would stick out like a sore thumb afterwards.

I’ve always found the North Station/Science Park area an asphalt wasteland so I can’t really complain, but then again the el is cute and harmless and it seems a shame to tear it down. Maybe it’s blocking some bigwig’s view of the Zakim Bridge.
