One of the places I lived in when I was a child was a
house (rented the bottom of a duplex) at 401 Boylston
Street (in Brookline). The turnpike was nearby, or
ended nearby. I knew the turnpike was some kind of
road but I couldn't imagine what it looked like or why
it was called that. I guess I should do some research.
