In Boston Pop, is incorrect, it is called tonic,
we also did use the word Frappe, and a hero was a sub sandwich. sprinkles
were called jimmies! We would really laugh at ourrstrange cousins who did
not understand Boston! As we want a Pop? it is tonic! a Frappe was without the ice cream? or was it with it.? How times do change. Poor Charlie lost forever! Then we had the ice cream soda with the ice cream, and the famous
root beer float! Also they had in Boston the Boot, when people parked cars in a tow zone, and had so many tickets they never did pay? I think there was some famous yellow car, and a person, who always had the car locked! Only in Bean Town! We also would get while down town Boston ,tickets for doing the Jay walk! Or so they did try to tame us!

No, that was a shoe factory payroll robbery. I grew up 1/2 mile from the site.
