Talk to anyone who lives in Jamaica Plain and they will prattle on endlessly about how great it is to live in Jamaica Plain. There is a reason for this. It's because they want you to move there because it is the only way they will ever see anyone or do anything. Why? Because it is approximately four and half hours away from everything in the world.
Don't believe me? Try it, pal. Yeah, which way are you thinking about? All the way down Mass Ave. then down Washington St, and through the South End. Good luck. Oh, you thinking of taking the J-way? Have fun cutting through BU and Brookline and the little hospital city deal, be sure you get off Riverway and onto the J-way or you end up in West Roxbury. Better pack some spare gas tanks and check your Google map for Jiffy Lubes, you're gonna need an oil change halfway through.
It's all worth it though when you get there though, am I right? That one bar has a fireplace or whatever and that's pretty cool. Oh and that place that books your friend's band on a Tuesday. What else? Oh yeah, the original JP Licks(hey ice cream - that's on the list, right?) It's on the T though if you're car breaks down. Just jump on the old orange line. Insider's Tip: You might want to avoid eye contact until you get past Downtown Crossing unless you want to get your ass kicked. All in all, great place.

I tried to go last week, but my passport is expired.
haha. Fucking place blows. There is that one bowling alley that doesn't exist any more though. And one time I jumped in the reservoir, like ten years ago. Been telling that story for a while. Probably better retire it.
You're just jealous that we have more butch lesbians than Cambridge.
Yeah, I said it.
For any hope of surviving the journey to that black hole, you better leave a trail of giant fucking granola bars like Hansel & Gretel. If US Air started a shuttle service from Logan to JP, I might consider going.
I agree with you on the minibikes though. Fuck those things.
Hoof c4.
You ever have a friend move out there? Just cut em loose. Not worth it. Look, I like you and all... but I just can't afford to keep a team of Sherpas on the payroll this quarter.
good place to go to if it's the end of the year and you have a few vacation days you need to use-or-lose. Otherwise I'm with you here.
jp is where you live when you can't figure out how the heck to get out.
jackie peterson's neighborhood. what a fucking rip off, unless you're looking to move to the suburbs while pretending you still live in the city.
Quincy is closer to downtown - it's where people move when they can't afford Cambridge and are afraid of Roxbury and Dorchester . . .
