Via Universal Hub: the Boston Coasters website is now selling posters, T-shirts, and messenger bags with blogger Vanshnookenraggen's MBTA map of the future.

But don't get your hopes up for new subway stations in Boston or anywhere else in America in the near future. From today's Washington Post, which, to my surprise, doesn't mention Boston as one of the fiscal basket cases:
