I am continuing my driving videos. This one is different in that it is driving in Boston Backwards. I will explain why backward is important for me related to Boston.

i love those driving videos!
So why see Boston Backwards? The first time i arrived in Boston I was traveling with a friend/coworker. He is one o the nicest people on earth.
We got to the airport about a 1/2 hour apart and met at the rental car counter. We rented a car and put the GPS on the dash (I had a portable GPS unit back then).
My friend offered to drive first. We arrived at our hotel about an hour later.
He got out of the car, threw me the keys, and said “i am never driving here again. They all drive backward”
I laughed, and drove the rest of the week!

I have never been to Boston. I would love to. I have seen many movies set in Boston. I think there is a great Clint Eastwood movie set in Boston Mystic River. and another I saw from Martin Scorsese that I loved: The Departed. There are many Irish people they say. Hollywood makes American cities to be appealing.
i prefer the more historical south side of Boston, but yes it is heavily populated by Descendents of Irish people.
fun city overall
Ok. If you have not watched these two movies set in Boston you will have a great time watching them: The Departed and Mystic River.
i have seen both. they are wonderful films. I just love hanging out in Braintree MA (south side). it is the way I imagined Boston would be.
I have also heard that people in Boston have a special American accent. Is it so hard to understand???
well that depends – sometimes yes. it can be a really hard accent to understand and once you are used to it, it is simply an accent.
This is what I heard about people from Boston. I have never been there.
it is a fun city to visit!

I see the majority agrees with my pal, sometimes you just can’t drive in some cities!
I have been to Boston too. In fact in the late 1990s when I brought my soul mate to the US we were in Boston and went to the zoo.
Boston is one of those epic cities. i hate driving there but it was fun to see the Green Monster (at the Red Sox Fenway Park) in person. I also enjoyed seeing places that John Adams wandered.
The second video is almost disturbing but that’s what makes it cool.
it did feel funny to see one that was done backward. It made me laugh!
Another beautiful place. We do not have as much traffic in our country as you do. We have a crowd in the morning when people drive to work.
i think the us has too much traffic
What I see on television cannot be compared to your traffic. Our country also has only about 2,000,000 inhabitants.
we have 1 million people in Montgomery County Maryland – and all of them are in a hurry!
Your city is bigger than my country. 😃
DC is actually the 9th or 10th largest city in the US. it is actually only a major city because it is the national capital.
Miami, Chicago, LA, San Diego, Boston, Dallas, Minneapolis St. Paul, Boston are all bigger!
Thanks for your information. I really learn something new here every day.
happy to help in any way I can
Never been to Boston but New Orleans at peak traffic time is crazy.
I remember being in the rush hour in NOLA. I was late for a meeting. I got to the meeting late!
I was late many times unfortunately.
that is the thing about bad traffic!
I don’t like driving in big cities. It looks very beautiful Boston
Boston is very lovely! my friend did not drive the rest of the time we were there!
