Alewife — Attraction in Cambridge

really old crappy slowly detiorating station has not been updated for a good 10-15+ years its all still the same the only thing they did was take out the BK that used to be on the Platform level (before you get in the train gate) and replace it with a DD. its only good if you need the train and to park the buses here are limited and dont really go anywhere special mostly Arlington Lexington Burlington and parts Of Woburn if you need to go to boston the only way is the train there is no direct route the 83 / 77 only go as far as Central Square Cambridge/ Harvard the rest is all bus. becareful here at certain times its hang out for bums in the back and the upper parking levels i see them all the tine and watch out for all the pigeons here this station is loaded with them it has a HUGE gaping hole that is all rotted out in the ceiling which i doubt they will EVER fix. apart from that if you dont need to come here dont the only thing around to see is the fresh pond mall the only thing saving this place is that its near Rt 2 Mass ave Davis Porter and Harvard squares. and taffic here whether its on the train bus or rush hours SUCK so once you get in good luck getting out its always filled and congested with some...

This location is definitely not a bad stop, especially in comparison to the other...

I haven't been to Boston since a little over a decade: my first time finally came to fruition (after 12-15 years of curious build-up: kinfolk related) beginning twice in 1990, then 1993, and again in 1998, and and lastly 2005; I was mostly interested in riding the "T" in stages: the so-called Southwest Corridor I was under the impression that it was infrastructually on an overhead embankment (sadfully it is what it is "controversially"), much later I reached out to Alewife and was quite impressed-especially with the art design called 'End of the line' (station alone), while the tracks went beyond the platform (again, sadfully it is what it is "controversially"): it's too bad that politricks, moneypit, socio unrest, and ignorance kills mass transit expansion plans, as is the case nationwide WHERE heard-n-read historically, although I still follow up in general for...
