"The best advice I can give anyone planning to travel to Boston can be summed up in a tongue-in-cheek paraphrase of the words of an old Johnny Cash song: Don't take your car to Boston, visitors; don't take your car to town... But real travelers don't let parking problems deter them. So I'll let you in on a secret, well-known to residents but not first-time tourists: Driving in Boston isn't like driving anywhere else."
