Boston Duck Tours are a fun, family-friendly way to see the city the Paul Revere way: by both land and water.

Have you noticed how the nights are getting just a little bit cooler? And in the mornings, there’s starting to be a little crispness in the air.
When the weather gets like this, I start thinking about […]
I’ve probably mentioned before that as a staunch non-driver, I most often walk or take public transportation, or very rarely catch a cab, when it comes time to get from Point A to Point B locally.
Even so, it’s impossible to remain unaware of the problems — meaning the sky-high gas prices — that have been […]
At times like the present, with gas prices reaching astronomical levels, I’m very thankful I don’t drive. Unlike me, however, there are millions of people across the United States growing increasingly frustrated over the rising cost of fueling their vehicles with required gasoline.
Governor Deval Patrick and his administration apparently feel constituents’ pain, and in […]

In the first case, starting […]
Whew! That was a close one! Amtrak workers are not going on strike!
Just about everyone who commutes into, out of, and within Boston on weekdays had one thing on their mind recently—the rapidly increasing likelihood that Amtrak employees would go on a nationwide strike come 12:01am on January 30.
