New restaurant in the neighborhood is going to have BREAKFAST! However, "There isn’t much in Ashmont in the morning – maybe a Dunkin’ Donuts, but nothing like this" and while there may be nothing like them, there is still breakfast at Ripple, American Provisions and even Flames #Ashmont #Dorchester #restaurants

On this day in 2012, I took a ride on Boston's Mattapan-Ashmont High Speed Line.

This is an isolated 4.1km tram line, operating on fully reserved track between Ashmont subway station and the suburb of Mattapan. The line is served by a fleet of 6 refurbished PCC Cars built in 1945 & 1946.
