<p>atl = Atlanta</p>
<p>Baltimore, however, is where its at. I know a bunch of people that are regularly on "the wire" in the background, that is much better than any of the crap mentioned before.</p>
<p>Everyone would know Baltimore is the best, cept for all the murder and heroin and aids and stuff.</p>
<p>I'm surprised no one has mentioned BOSTON yet.</p>
<p>Woot woot!</p>
<p>Boston Public and any movie involving the Boston Red Sox.</p>
<p>Boston is awful, nobody can drive. Nobody at all. I swear, to get your liscense you probably have to chug lead paint.</p>
<p>Actually Boston drivers tend to be pretty good as far as actual driving skills go, they're just impatient and rude and they drive under a vastly different set of rules.</p>
<p>i love laguna beach and, sadly, all crappy mtv reality shows. :-D
i wish i could say something brilliantly profound here but i have no good reason. theyre just fun to watch.</p>
<p>boston is awesome. But the drivers do suck, but believe me they are good compared to the ones in CostaRica ( where I live).</p>
<p>I read that as "the rivers do suck", and I thought, "Wow, they have a river worse than the Charles in Costa Rica?"</p>
<p>You think Boston drivers suck? I can't tell you how many times someone has cut me off to cross 7 lanes of traffic to get off the freeway. Or, how everyone thinks that since 285 is a beltline freeway it is automatically a huge NASCAR track so we go 90+ (though, I love this... I go about 110 :) ). People don't use blinkers because they are a sign of weakness. I think Atlanta drivers are the only ones that can put on make up, talk on the cell phone, edit some reports, and handle their kids while going 90 in bumper to bumper.</p>
<p>Atlanta also has notoriously bad driving I know, but I'm pretty sure Time Magazine rated Boston as the #1 worst place to drive.</p>
<p>I'm just going on experience. IDK how Time can "rank" a qualitative measure. Though, whatever happened to Jersey drivers? Have we forgotten them?</p>
<p>I hate hate hate people who can't drive rotaries correctly. And, by correctly, I mean the way we Massachusetts-ers do.</p>
<p>One of my worst driving memories, though, is in Costa Rica on this stupid dirt road that went on for miles and miles. They had these bridges, I think, sometimes. And these speedbumps that would hit the bottom of our rental car each time we went over one (which was all the time). It took us so long to get to wherever we were going. It was really quite painful.</p>
<p>LOL. You mean roundabouts? Are we the only city that doesn't have those?</p>
<p>No. I mean rotaries. Harvard and I are in MA. We have rotaries. England has roundabouts. Scotland has roundabouts. MA has rotaries.</p>
<p>This is what you do:
1. pray you do it right
2. pray everyone else does it right
3. people entering yield
4. people in the rotary just keep on going
5. do not stop in the rotary
6. do not cut someone off entering unless you are experienced with rotaries
7. there are no real lanes, but normally two general lanes: inside and outside. use the inside lane if you have farther to go around then enter the outside lane before your spoke
8. use your turn signal. it's nice.
9. pray</p>
<p>And there you go. A quick lesson on MA rotaries and how not to get killed.</p>
<p>Haha this one time the car in front of me went like 40 around a rotary.</p>
<p>New York has roundabouts.</p>
<p>Who da thunk it.</p>
<p>We are the only city it seems... we just built a bunch of roads similar to older country ones(straight and plopped down anywhere) except alot wider.</p>
<p>wait boston has bad driving?? have you ever been to nyc??? lol my mom is the worlds biggest jay walker. dont ever ever drive in nyc. it takes like 2 hours to get from one end of manhatten to the other (ok i lie, but it still is bad!) btw: you might be wondering how some hick from central wi knows about nyc. actually i dont, but i went there during the winter break. its the coolest city ever.</p>
<p>They're moving all of our threads! :(</p>
<p>I've been to NYC a few times, and people aren't that bad there, it's just terrible traffic and stuff.</p>
