Shrewsbury Street had seen enough water that In House Coffee had standing water inside; they did pretty well with it.<br />DPW says the worst flooding since '05.

It's all Boston to me, even when it's Medford or Somerville or Cambridge. I'm venturing into Boston more often, now that my girlfriend took a job in Somerville, but I avoid it as much as I can. Before her job, I mostly went into Boston for charity events such as the Komen walk, or events at the Larz Anderson Museum of Transportation. That added up to about twice a year. Now I might go into Boston about 6 times a year.<br /><br />I hate the traffic going into Boston. If I could help it, I'd never go inside 495... Also, I can appreciate all the things to do in a big city such as Boston, but overall I find big cities dirty and claustrophobic. I prefer to be farther from the madding crowd.
