I wonder if he had the pink one or the bronze one? The Taurus .38 Special comes in at least 14 festive colors. I know this sounds like I'm making light of street crime but WTF is Taurus thinking; Are they trying to sell to kids or what?

I normally think of Ruggles ending at Columbus Ave by the Police headquarters. I'm guessing that the two pieces of that street were once connected?

See this mapjunction link: https://mapjunction.com/?lat=42.3352638&lng=-71.0880427&clipperX=0.89722...

If you scroll towards Roxbury Crossing from there, you can also see how Columbus and Tremont at rx used to make sense. Now we have Tremont seemingly making a random right hand turn and continuing straight as Columbus.
