  Funny story about City Hall. One time a while back my elderly parents came to visit for a week just a few months after I first moved to Boston. Although they had never visited here before; one weekday while I was working during the day; they decided to venture out on their own on the MBTA to explore the city. They got lost and wound up at government center. When they got upstairs at that T-Stop they went into the first building that they saw (City Hall, of course) to ask for directions. My ever-polite mom commented to the armed security guard stationed at the metal detector that the building was a nicest-looking prison she'd ever seen. The guard chuckled a little, covered his mouth and then said "I'm sorry..." and that it was actually Boston's City Hall where the mayor and the city's administrators all worked from. Without missing a beat my mom said "Oh that's ok, don't be sorry dearie - prison is a good place for them folks to be!"
