Don't Go to Boston This Summer

Not unless you LOVE SITTING in a TRAFFIC JAM!

"Quick fix for I-93 bridges begins; 14 spans set to be rebuilt over the summer; weekend work will affect traffic" by Eric Moskowitz, Globe Staff / June 4, 2011

MEDFORD — The state late last night closed half the lanes along a 5-mile stretch of Interstate 93 north of Boston, the start of a major construction project that promises to slow traffic most weekends this summer on a road carrying nearly 200,000 vehicles every day. The restrictions are being imposed so that the state can replace 14 decaying highway bridges, all more than 50 years old....  

That's what happens when most of your tax loot is going for debt and interest payments to banks, bondholders, and well-connected corporations with agenda-pushing concerns.

The work site is in the path of thousands of Red Sox fans bound for Fenway Park and summer travelers heading north to New Hampshire or south to Cape Cod....

Uh-oh!!  

Yeah, I think I will SKIP the BALL GAME!
