Traffic research

Does anyone know whether/when/where there's going to be a parade for the Celtics tomorrow? I need to go through Boston in the morning, I don't want to get bogged down in revelers throwing confetti...

I suppose I can go through Brookline, that just seems less efficient. But if you think the whole downtown area will be a mess I may be better off that way.

Seems to me you'd be best to take Mem Drive to the BU bridge and from there wiggle your way towards Longwood, staying as far West as possible. If I remember correctly, you go over the BU bridge and straight across Comm Ave, turn right at the street one block in (Dummer) and then left at the next street (Amory), go to Beacon, turn right on Beacon and left on St. Paul and then left on Longwood. Mass Ave will be very close to the rally route and even if they are not started, there will be a lot of extra people.

Hmmm... yeah. I can think of another version of the Comm.-to-St.-Paul wiggle, too, but it does sound like St.-Paul-to-Longwood is definitely the way to go, to avoid the revelers downtown. Thanks very much for the feedback!
