This is a blog for poor students (and other frugal people) in the Boston area (and other areas). Being thrifty doesn't mean that you can't eat well. Every week, I'll show you a new way to eat well without spending a fortune. Like the Poor Student on Facebook to see the latest posts first!
Now that the Poor Student has made 6 videos for the Scootin' in Boston series, we now have a reason to make a Youtube playlist. If you'd like to keep up with this series but don't want to subscribe to anything, just bookmark this page and watch the playlist below whenever you'd like. However, the Poor Student will continue to make individual blog posts to give more details about each video and a map that you can look at while you're watching the video.
In this episode of Scootin' in Boston, the Poor Student rides the Hammond Parkway and West Roxbury Parkway from Chestnut Hill to Roslindale, MA. We go through four rotaries and the speed limit changes a few times. It's a nice ride. Here's the map. Start on Beacon Street and go south.
In this episode of Scootin' in Boston, the Poor Student starts from Harvard Avenue & Route 9 and rides all the way to Waltham via St. Paul Street and Route 20.
The Poor Student just got a Tachyon helmet camera and can't wait to scoot all over Boston with it! Below, the first two scootin' videos are posted. The first one is going from Jamaica Plain to Super 88 in Allston/Brighton and the second one is the return trip. Check 'em out!
This video series is intended be useful for new students coming to Boston, people who are curious about what Jamaica Plain and other places look like, tourists, people thinking of getting a scooter but don't know what it might feel like to ride one, people who used to live in Boston and would like to see how the place has changed, and anyone else who is too lazy to ride down the streets of Boston themselves. The map of the routes is posted under the videos below. The Poor Student points out various places on the streets too in the commentary.
Enjoy!
