January 09



Strangers to Boston, and occasionally, Bostonians themselves, are confused, bewildered, and even baffled when trying to drive here. This photograph is a prime example of what's so confusing. The photo is taken at the corner of Ipswitch St. and Boylston St. Well, one of the corners (there are two) -- it's the corner nearer the 1200 block of Boylston. Last Sunday, this is what the sign looked like.

I probably drive by this sign once or twice a week, depending on the route I drive to work, and I'll continue to monitor its inexorable surrender to gravity -- especially since I can take this photo from the driver's seat without having to worry about walking.
