fiero:mod is just too damn confusing of an analogy start.

cus they both made false claims, right? HAR HAR

Thraxle I didn't study the content as much as the structure and pattern of the typical questions asked. The problem is doing better on the SAT often comes from studying how to take the SAT not on amassing knowledge or skills. The same goes for many standardized tests.

I love analogies and I hate that they removed them as something about that capitulation seems to be running for the lowest common denominator.

Also the Charles river runs along the side of Cambridge not through the inner city. This is nothing more then a divergent troll though, that said I had lots of friends that went to Cambridge Ringe and Latin and the minorities gave fuck all about the boats. Also everyone I met that went to Somerville High School was done a serious disservice in the level of education they were offered. I was smart and all the time I spent in Boston I never went south beyond the JFK/UMass station.

All of central metro Boston is inner city. The urchin zone was just on MIT's northern border, next the Kendall Square Station and only one or two blocks from the water.

Urchins would sometimes show up trick-or-treating in the dorms and they would get thrown in the showers.

We also had a chocholate factory, the New England Confectionary Company (NECCO) on our northern border. A chocholate smell was always wafting over the campus. Sweet. For a day.

The NECCO factory is now a massive Novartis Pharmaceuticals research complex, Kendal Square is nice as are the areas north of it. Hell Central Square is gentrified or on its way to being.

Drive thru Baltimore, you see inner city.

Drive thru Boston, you see sprinklings of it.

I had to google gentrified. Thanks for the lesson Sam.

I love Baltimore, but outside of the Inner Harbor it's pretty shitty. We stayed at the Hilton last year and drove to the zoo....that was a pretty "interesting" drive.

Last Summer when I went into Baltimore one afternoon to check out the inner harbor, I parked in a gated parking garage took an elevator up to a couple floors about street level and walked on footbridges above the city for a block or two looking down on the dregs of inner city Baltimore. It felt like something out of a dystopian novel. The inner harbor was nice though, had some great weather too.

@Thraxle I think that was an SAT word.

most certainly
