In an alternate reali-T

[magid]

Inspired (if that's the correct word), by a variant map of the Tube (warning: large image), I offer the stations along Boston's Lend Ire (from north to south, mostly):

Waif Eel
Divas
Report
Rad Quaver Rash
Arc Lent
Land Elk
Larches
Pert Streak
Cow Grinds Wontons
Sustain Tooth
Bawdy Oar
Warden
[JFK/Umass is pretty impossible to turn into anything.]
Quoth Inn Cry
Owl Talons
Cry Ten Quince
Cayman Squid
Beer Train
Vain Hills
Denser Frolic
Tum Wash
Ton Mash

And can I just say, there are far too many Qs on this line!
Plus, these names make me feel like I'm in New Crobuzon.

I think I've seen this before for the entire system. And yes, the first thing I thought of was New Crobuzon!

If you remember where you saw it, I'd love to see it; there were some hard choices for some stations and I wonder what someone else decided on.

It's strange: I was having a hard time with all the filth in Perdido Street Station, but it's definitely stuck in my head much more than many other mind construct cities.

It's here (http://smileyhandface.blogspot.com/2006/02/boston-mbta-anagram-remix.html).

Note the anagram for Harvard in that one.

Interesting definition of anagram :-).

There's a different one here (http://www.cascadilla.com/arlington/bostonanagram.html) which I think is better. It covers the silver line and commuter rail, and anagrams more stuff -- eg the Rare Trampolinist stops at Proletarian Annotation Girl!

Cool! Thanks for the link!
