Being a native Bostonian, I was .very. unimpressed with that section of
Target: UCAS.
It relied heavily on stereotypes that are quickly becoming untrue
(Boston Harbor is toxic, Roxbury/Dorchester has fifteen gangers per
square foot..), although the noted difference between Irish and Tir was
appreciated. I guess there's only so much you can do 22 pages, sigh.
Thank goodness there was good stuff on Chicago!

I though someone mentioned that the major New England Mafia was based in
Providence, not Boston.... is that just my mistake?

And of course, I showed up as list.member.invisible, myself :)
