Elendil_s_Heir, my husband spent a week in Boston in 2012 and when riding the T heard someone say “when you ran for President”, turned around and saw people talking to Dukakis. Hubby introduced himself, said he was from NYC and Dukakis told him “I ride the T and walk home, but when your mayor (Bloomberg) rides the subway, his SUV is waiting for him at the station.”
