Ah yes, now I remember. And Beantown, of course. I remember asking a young waitress in Newbury Street's book cafe why it was called Beantown. A look of confusion crossed her face and she went to ask the manager. She returned, looking none the wiser, and said: "It's to do with beans", then ran away before I could ask any more awkward questions.
Right from the start I had some trouble with waitresses in Boston, as you may recall...
yes, i believe your photograph-well-worn through frequent examination and requests for faxing from the waitress unions in berlin, amsterdam, dublin and, now, manchester-is still posted in many of boston's finest eateries. you are still a figure of note to them.

Does Boston have a slogan?

it also called itself, with no irony, the hub of the universe and athens of america (two slogans, one century, the nineteenth).
