Thanks Ryan

Wow, new improved bloggerific directions on how to take the T from Logan to Harvard Square if you're visiting for BloggerCon. Here's a weird thing about the Boston T. If you don't know if you're going INBOUND or OUTBOUND you're in big trouble. Inbound means vaguely that you're heading into the center of Boston and Outbound means your heading vaguely out of the center of Boston.

Drink two beers and try to remember when your heading to Fenway Park for a Sox game, which is kindof in town, but you need to go kindof out of town towards Brookline to get to it, what the hell direction you're going in and you'll see why they wrote that popular song about a guy who gets lost on the MTA and never returns.

Also, if you don't get that some of the lines connect upstairs and some connect downstairs at key transition T stops, you get totally lost.

I have to thank the way cool Ryan aka SKADZ over here for these pointers. He's got the "upstairs, downstairs" shit way figured out, which is key in the very strange Boston mass transit system. Here's his email.


"When they get to Gov't Center, go up the stairs to the Green Line
platform and hook a hard left, that's the outbound train side (outbound
at Govt Center is towards Park)

When they get to Park Street, they will need to go down the stairs for
the Red Line. The stairs to the platform towards Alewife are behind
the
stairs leading outside, so don't just do down the ones right as they
get
off the T, hook around the back."
