A couple of things though, that definitely looks like the Washington St. elevated at the end of the street. Maybe the Dover stop. Many times, I too froze my ass off there, [not literally :)]. <BR/><BR/>And, the worst thing about all the Boston based movies these days is the phony local accents. Talk about grating and overdone!!!! <BR/><BR/>On Deli I disagree. Good Russians, knishes, and other stuff could be found on Washington St. not too far from the old BU Medical School. We used to walk up there for lunch in the mid 70's. Mattapan Square and up Blue Hill Ave was good too during the 60's & 70's. And Beacon St. near Williston Rd. was good in the 80's when I worked in that area.Candlemakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13063065143058147894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-1157902118481537252006-09-10T11:28:00.000-04:002006-09-10T11:28:00.000-04:00Now, Joan.

They used to have a catering sandwich that consisted of eight half sandwiches. They'd give you a t-shirt if you could eat the whole thing at one sitting. <BR/><BR/>They discontinued the t-shirt offer because of me. <BR/><BR/>Roast beef with cole slaw and Russian dressing! Oh yeah.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for reading and commenting.SippicanCottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14940797380578921776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-1157830251067358292006-09-09T15:30:00.000-04:002006-09-09T15:30:00.000-04:00Sippican, you can get great deli at Rubin's on Har...Sippican, you can get great deli at Rubin's on Harvard St. near Comm Ave. Technically, it's Brookline, but it's like 20 feet from the town line. In a previous life, I lived across the street in one of the walk-ups. I wonder if it's still there. <BR/><BR/>Other than that, you've nailed it. I grew up in Dorchester and so far, the only authentic Boston accents I've heard on screen were from Damon and Affleck. I could barely tolerate that movie for its weird portrayal of MIT, but I did like to listen to the boys talk. Not Robin Williams, though. He was ghastly, no matter how much everyone who wasn't a Bostonian seemed to like his performance.Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06093453920666892035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-1154308027575091142006-07-30T21:07:00.000-04:002006-07-30T21:07:00.000-04:00You know, Cheers never seemed to have much of anyt...You know, Cheers never seemed to have much of anything to do with Boston, to Bostonians. Never registered with us that way. <BR/><BR/>We'd all been drunk in the Bull and Finch, and knew it didn't look like that inside. I had to be <I>told</I>that Cliff Clavin supposedly had a boston accent. I had no idea from seeing the show the first time.SippicanCottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14940797380578921776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-1154283282951235202006-07-30T14:14:00.000-04:002006-07-30T14:14:00.000-04:00How long will it be before they make a Cheers movi...How long will it be before they make a Cheers movie, starring Ben Affleck as Sam, Linsay Lohan as Dianne, and Nick Nolte as Coach?<BR/><BR/>PS.

I'm old enough to remember the trolley tracks in the road and the overhead electrification for the trams. They were still around in the sixties.<BR/><BR/>I stood on those T platforms and froze my ass off more than once, when Johnson was president.SippicanCottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14940797380578921776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-1154178010791286872006-07-29T09:00:00.000-04:002006-07-29T09:00:00.000-04:00Sippican - Isn't that photo a shot of old, pre-gen...Sippican -<BR/> Isn't that photo a shot of old, pre-gentrified Mass.
