GULP! Ok I admit it...I'm a pretty big Discovery Channel junkie...mainly shows like Modern Marvels or Megastructures. Well, I can't remember which show had it, but one of them had a whole episode about the Big Dig project in Boston. The main idea is to move the highways underground through the city to open up the land above ground to things like parks, etc. Noble idea, but the project is still going on (mmm...like how your tax money is still going there??) and recently there was a story about a huge chunk of concrete falling in one of the tunnels killing a woman.

So as we drove through it, all you heard coming from our car was:

"Oh God!"
"Oh Jeez!"
"Oh boy"
"Oh my goodness gracious"
oh you get the point...in any case...SCARY! it even looks kinda patched together as you drive through it...yeeeaahhh...
