TRANSPORTATION PIONEERS TRIUMPH -- LAST ON BOSTON'S ELEVATED HIGHWAY

Ravi Jain and Stefan Economou, perpetual transportation pioneers, made history once again on Saturday when they were the last car to drive on the elevated 93 highway over Boston. Joining the two intrepid travelers in Economou's 1993 Oldsmobile Cutlass Custom Cruiser was Sonia Targontsidis, a photographer and videographer. Peter Demarco, an independent journalist writing for the Boston Globe, and Laurie Swope, a freelance photographer hired by the Globe, traveled with the band of pioneers as they slowly traversed the empty highway.
I took my first trip over the Zakim Bridge Southbound tonight from the North.

It's exciting and all, but they've done away with the Storrow Drive Exit!

Now to get over to Boston Common, you've got to cut through Faneuil Hall Marketplace and wind your way behind the Statehouse!

There must be a better way!
