Boston used to be the jaywalking capital of the world. Particularly at lunch time back in the thirties I have seen Washington Street in the business center covered with hundreds of people criss-crossing in every direction so that cars could not move. The police in Atlanta must have had a lot of trouble with Bostonians, if an experience I had there was typical. The first day I was in Atlanta back 1943, I stepped off the curb waiting for a chance to cross, A police cruiser with public address horn on the roof almost a hundred yards downstreet blared out:"Hey, you from Boston, get back on the curb!" My face must have shown my bewilderment wondering how the cop could have known I was from Boston, the way the crowd laughed.
