Ever tried trying to get Rt. 3 SOUTH news? On the South Shore, it is 
impossible to get the traffic, even on "local" (yuh, right!) WPLM AM/FM. 
I think that a true traffic service with actual helicopters and things is 
a lot better than Joe Schmoe driving around telling about car breakdowns 
- - how does anyone know if they are accurate? I had a friend who worked 
for Metro in Boston and was (obviously) very upset about the change - he 
lost his job. He said some bad things about Shadow!
