Cigarette butts are always in great demand here. If you do see any laying on the ground, be sure to scoop them up fast so you can savour that last Marlboro moment!

Ride the Commuter Rail into Boston South Station. Quick, civilized ride - either 1 or no stops along the way. Air conditioned comfort that beats Red Line any day if you are on schedule.

If you need to pee, it appears that anywhere in the station environs is available for your relief.

If you're coming down from a drug induced high, this is a great place to spend quality time scowling at the real world.

Some of the signs for the bus signs are misleading. Catch buses to the left hand side when you exit on the left side of the station.

Do not come here expecting to find breakfast, lunch or dinner. This station does not have a food court.

Wear a raincoat in the station on rainy days, as it leaks like crazy.

Don't touch anything if you can help it especially when it rains and the place always smells like urine

Rumor has it that many of the aliens cast in the "Men In Black" films were found at this station.

AVOID this stating between 2-4:30 on school days. The ignorant students of Quincy High and North Quincy High use this as their hangout spot.

They don't like it when you try to ride on top of the subway

The garage is closed indefinitely. My theory? Fringe event.

Bring a jacket - and turn around when the train is pulling in-- blocks the gust of wind

Watch out for the people begging. Some of them don't take"no" too well. Also, it always smells like urine.
