alewife

Funny to see them drive onto RT 2 after alewife and have a 25 mph limit as everyone floors it.

A good alewife could get the alcohol % even lower by using strong herbs like mugwort.

It looks like Atlantic Cod aren't bouncing back[0], and neither are alewife, rainbow smelt, bloater and others in the Georgian Bay[1].

It's a bit faster than walking between Alewife and Porter.

That's compared to 35 minutes driving (no traffic), ~55 minutes driving (with traffic), an hour driving to Alewife then taking the red line in, and an hour and a half for biking to Alewife and taking the subway in.

Whenever possible, I drive into Alewife and take the subway in.

Since it's on the Red Line, if you're coming from Lexington/Concord, you could easily park your car at the massive Alewife garage, and take the 20 minute T ride to Kendall.

I remember visiting the Lake Michigan dunes in Indiana in the 70s, only to encounter what appeared to the small me to be mountains of dead alewife.

I still remember the Alewife and Braintree...

In Arlington, I was 15 min walk from Alewife and then 10 min subway ride to my office in Central Square (or a 15 minutes total if I drove).

Boston has always felt strange to me in that you can walk from Forest Hills to Alewife in an afternoon, but like you said, if you want a cab or a ride at 2am, you're SOL.

There are large swaths of metro Boston and Cambridge where they have no coverage -- most of the Esplanade, Harvard Square, every MIT building I've been in, Route 2 from Alewife through most of Arlington.

Which is one reason why referring to an "alewife" as a female bartender is somewhat archaic.

I'd actually extend the "startup corridor" out to include most of the Red Line, from South Station to Davis (and possibly to Alewife, soon).

No, there is only the destination of the train, since an Alewife bound train is "inbound" or "outbound" depending on which station you're at.

There's also a bikepath that runs through the downtowns of Bedford, Lexington, Arlington, and stops at Alewife.

If you want to talk about the Red Line delays going toward Alewife, then inbound or outbound is uselessly ambiguous.

If you're pretty in-shape it can be a decent transportation route, though at 9 miles from Bedford to Alewife, it's quite a hike.
