im from boston and everything going inbound means going to government center and anything outbound goes away from govrnment center

Gov't Center for thre Blue Line maybe, but not the Green. Anything inbound goes to Park st.

I grew up in Dorchester and anytime we went shopping or bill paying in downtown Boston, we said we were going "intown".

I agree with Judy. No one ever said they were going "downtown" or even "into Boston" - it was always "I'm going intown" or "I was in town today at Filene's." Anyone who would specify "Boston" is not from around here. Also, I have never heard the term "Beantown" used until there was a TV show about Boston with it in the title. Along the same lines, no one I knew ever said they were from "Boston", you said your neighborhood eg Field's Corner or your parish. In fact, coming thru customs @ Logan years ago, I was asked by the customs officer "what parish?" when I said I was from Dorchester.
