Who doesn't like to complain about the MBTA?!
ImprovBoston’s 4th annual summer musical takes us down the tunnels and tracks of all the ruckus, romance and funny to be found on our beloved T. That’s right! Public transportation inspires an all new original musical comedy! “T” chronicles the journey of three 20-somethings whose lives have been derailed by the MBTA's shortcomings. When they discover a secret map that will enable them to conquer the evil of the T, they set forth on a colorful journey that is part love story, part melodrama, part scavenger hunt, mostly underground. The show includes lovely moments like "The Shuttle Bus Song (We Can't Handle It)," "The T Within" and "The Bro Song." Song, dance, laughter, discovery: things we can all relate to our everyday T experiences! Surely a summer fantasy come true!

UGH. This heat is unberable. And I can't find a happy medium of the ice box here at work and the inferno outside. MEH. If you're off today, and you want to cool down Check out this list of pools and wading pools in the Boston area. (If you don't have a kid to bring to the wading pools, we suggest you find one...so it doesn't look to shady while you're there).
As for another option there is always the Colonnade Hotel. (120 Huntington Avenue)
POOL HOURS & PRICES
8:00 AM - 8:00 PM daily, weather permitting. Complimentary entrance to hotel guests.
* Open to the PUBLIC: Monday - Friday for a flat fee of $40 per person per day*. Excludes weekends and holidays.
*This year, we are pleased to offer a 1/2 day rate of $20 per person from 3:00 PM until close.
Stay Cool Boston. Stay Cool.
