interesting graffiti on boston train ...
fyi, the "Red Line" is one of the trolley/subway trains that runs through Cambridge and Boston ... Alewife, Davis Square, Porter, Central Square JFK/UMass and Ashmont are stops along the line ... interesting political commentary whatever the person's politics are ...

Map attack

Someone professionally covered up the Red Line strip map over the doorway with a pretty accurate replica. Same lettering, same map, but very different names -- with obvious political intent, we think.

Alewife was renamed Military. Davis Square was Healthcare. Porter was Prisons. Central Square was God. JFK/UMass was WTO/NAFTA.

And on the Ashmont branch, Mattapan was Rapture.

1. Guerilla art strikes again!
Bless the political artists.

I was hoping the story would have a picture, though. I would have used it as my desktop.

2. I still like...
"Anaheim, Azuza and Coo...camonga" better.

But yes, I get the pun about the "Red Line." BTW, I rode all the MBTA lines last year. Loved it.
