In Boston, especially in the North End, we deal with tourists everyday. I recently was asked by a man in front of Mike’s Pastry where to find the North End. Last year, a lady approached me and talked slow and loud in her best Bah-stan accent as if I didn’t speak English.

Winner is the best story chosen by me, at my complete discretion. The story must have taken place in Boston. Please keep it clean. Long or short, old or new is fine. You don’t have to live in the North End/Waterfront area to submit a story. I will announce the winning story in the forum thread.
