I’LL TELL YOU HWAT, MY NAME IS HANK HILL AND I SELL PROP- oh, not Arlen. Alrighty, fine, fine. Welcome to Arlington Street. Goddammit. Man, the Central Subway gets a bit tedious. Fortunately, this is the last station!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arlington’s located at the intersection of Boylston and Arlington Streets, at the southwestern corner of the Boston Common. Looking around, it’s REALLY, REALLY<\/strong> disgusting and dingy! YIKES. Plus, this feels like the backrooms. At least crossovers are free and it’s accessible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See ya!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, it’s also not too well lit on the tracks, but whatever. Moving on to upstairs, the ceilings are freakin’ disgusting, and apparently there’s restrooms here! Sadly, I didn’t peek, nor did Miles have any insight on them from when he made his bathroom map. Oh yeah, history! The headhouses also look old, like your stereotypical old-school subway headhouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stairs. Yeah, they look a lot like Kenmore’s<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The good: It’s at the Boston Common! It’s also a short walk from the opposite end of Newbury Street from where Hynes <\/a>is located. There’s also a couple of bus connections here too, and it’s accessible.

The bad: It’s freakin’ DINGY! I’d argue, it’s WORSE than Hynes, as the ceilings NEED a powerwash. I should’ve worn gloves when holding to the escalator handrails.

Nearby points of interest: Newbury Street and the Boston Common!

Transit connections:
Green Line (B, C, D, E)
MBTA bus (9)

Overall, eww. I hate this station even more than Hynes. And, since the ceilings grossed me out enough, I can’t score this high. Bleugh!
