The open car has most likely come from the Allston Depot on Wilton St.

We are looking north toward Brighton Ave. The block at the right still stands with Korean Garden, Steve's Kitchen, and Cheap Chic occupying the commercial storefront.

Cheap Chic is a former place of employment (if it can be called that) in a previous lifetime...

...is also a great Italian exclamation usually meaning, "I have absolutely no idea." The typical Italian body english accompanying, "Boh" is the corners of the mouth drawn down, eyes wide open, and hands held palms out at shoulder level, sometimes accompanied by a shrug.
