Boston is now a smoke-free city. Finally, I can maybe not smell like an ashtray when I come home from a bar. I think I might have to go out to them more often now.

Love the bass line, and really love that the gunshots were taken out of the track. Really never liked the gunshots in the album version anyway.

uhhh, correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn’t that mean you would actually have to have “gone” to a bar in the first place? Plus we all know that one must consume the appropriate number of alcoholic units to be viewed as acutally having “attended” a bar outing…..
) that talked of how business in New York are really being hurt by this ban. I guess people hang outside to smoke now rather then inside spending money on drinks etc. But, maybe now our bartenders will not all die of lung cancer.
Seriuosly, this will definately make my bar experinces better, though I was reading an article (cannot find it

But what I don’t get is this: how did the People’s Republic of Cambridge fail to enact a similar ban?

It’s all those silly artsy, disaffected types that also happen to smoke a lot that are the problem in Cambridge.
Honestly, I have no idea, but it’s come up in their city council meetings. Do a google search for “Cambridge MA smoking ban” and read the articles. Generally, the issues seem to be framed in the same way as they were in Boston (oh no, poor bars!), but with more inertia.
I do really believe that there might be more smokers in Cambridge per person than in Boston, though. Their ought to be a smokers room exception, though… A closed in, ventilated to the outside room where smokers can go and share cancer with each other (and not me). I don’t know how many bars could afford such a room or space for such a room…

I think those Punk kids that hang out in the “Pit” contribute greatly to the smoking population of Cambridge, therefore if we kick them out and “take our streets back!” this would not be an issue anymore…
Just Kidding. that is odd that Cambridge did not follow Boston’s footsteps. Maybe it is a secret deal that the mob of Cambridge is running to get more business to their Cambridge Bars…
