I’m in Boston right now. Everyone’s been nice, and the city is nice to be in, but my god, getting around is absolutely brutal. I’ve never been more frustrated by poor urban design in my life. It makes it not worth coming to. Philly isn’t perfect, but bless our city.

Boston is the only city I've gotten completely turned around in while walking around. The lack of a grid really breaks my sense of direction.

It was nice having the opposite experience of going from Boston to Philly.

Super clean, nice parks, infrastructure is solid. But the navigation…

Probably doesn’t help that the T is totally fucked nowadays, almost makes me feel good about SEPTA.
