Location

Inside the chain link perimeter of an Avis car rental lot. Probably not reachable without some sweet-talking, but there's some neat stuff nearby, such as an abandoned field and a beach.

Participants

Plans

Phyzome & his partner Alex are looking at heading to the Orient Heights station of the Blue Line and walking to the location, then to the beach. We're leaving from the Davis Square area by T at around 13:15.

Expedition

Even though we knew that we were not going to reach the point, we traveled as planned by Red Line and Blue Line, arriving at Orient Heights station. The station had a split platform but allowed both ticketed and unticketed passengers to cross the tracks via a rather curious stairway and overpass that has a fence running down its length. (See gallery.)

The neighborhood had a weird vibe to it. We appeared to be in a downtown-ish area, but it consisted mainly of shitty take-out food places and convenience stores, with some establishments filling both roles.
