OUR FAVORITE PLACES TO CRY IN BOSTON

Written by DIG STAFF Posted October 9, 2019 Filed Under: FEATURES, GTFO, Guides, LIFESTYLE, Lulz, Non-fiction

OH, SULLIVAN: I BRAVED THE NOTORIOUS CROSSHAIRS OF CHARLESTOWN, EVERETT, AND SOMERVILLE AND LIVED TO WRITE ABOUT IT

Written by CHRIS FARAONE Posted May 22, 2018 Filed Under: NEWS+OPINIONS

Even for this tortured region, Sullivan is something of an evil clusterfuck oasis, an otherworldly portal into gridlock that uniquely cripples multiple municipalities at once.
