CNN talks up Boston as a great place to visit (thanks!), but gives this advice:

Pahk your cahr: Here's the secret of why Bostonians "pahk their cahr in Hahvid Yahd" -- because it's too expensive to park it in the city.

The police are fine upstanding defenders of justice, but it's the cahppahs that I'm really concerned about.
