T Next Bus tracker is now SYSTEM WIDE

Great news for everyone who rides the buses in Boston as the MBTA
has turned on the Next Bus tracker on every bus route on the T.


I have found this to be very reliable on the test routes with the
exception that occasionally a bus may have the GPS turned off but
that only means a bus may arrive earlier than indicated. However if
the readout says 5 minutes, there will be a bus there at that time.

Now if only we can get the subway signs to tell us when the next
train arrives.

Fenway to get new scoreboards

Red Sox tell the Herald this will be the final renovation to the park.

The Red Sox in South Carolina

One would not think you could find Red Sox Nation 925 miles south of Boston in the charming community of Greenville, South Carolina but as these pics show that is exactly the case.


I would highly recommend Greenville as a weekend trip.
