Best Kept Secrets in Boston

Last night Emily and I were watching a really good show, which is this multipart series on BBC America that is called the Canterbury Tales, that presents believe it or not, the Canterbury Tales. I loved the Canterbury Tales when I read them in high school for humanities, and I think it was for the Pardoner's tale that I wrote my first essay, for which I enjoyed looking stuff up. Anyways, the Wife of Bath's tale was finishing and I looked over at Emily and said "I'm hungry, do you want to go get some Pizza?" There is a pizza place here called the Upper Crust which is really good, but unfortunately really expensive. So just after eleven, my sister and I went out to the back of it, and did what we've started doing, which is liberating still warm boxes of delicious pizzas of every flavour from the dumpster. On our walk home my sister said to me "We're eating pizza out of a dumpster!" I just think it's funny that we had to finish the pizza before it even occurred to us that we were eating from the dumpster. There were and still are no qualms about it. Because it's four and a half hours till closing time, and I don't know if I'll be hungry or not.

Also, another too well kept secret of the savvy Bostonian is - Green or Red line out or inbound from Park Street station. Take the gimp elevator from the corner of Winter and Tremont streets, and PUSH the gate when you get down to the lower level. It LOOKs like you're trapped in a steel cage, and it TELLS you that you need to ring for assistance getting out (presumably you'd be in a wheelchair, remember?) But as the nice lady who lives in the intercom told me, all you need to do is push. The door ISN'T EVEN LOCKED. Thanks for reading. That'll be $11 for the pizza and $1.25 for the ride...
