Another Allston Christmas has come come and gone. The year, the infamous Boston moving weekend was even tougher due to high temperatures, rain, and humidity, but our Olympia crew managed to pull off successful moves for our clients!
Some other relocating Boston residents did not have such an easy time. If you’re moving next September 1st, they say the best way to learn is from others’ mistakes & experiences. Here’s 19 things we learned from Allston Christmas 2013.
1. Double or triple parking will not help anyone.

2. There’s some very unique treasures among the junk…

3. …but there’s some real horrors in there as well.

4. September 1st can always be even worse…unless you’re moving in a hot, humid downpour.

6. If you’re driving a moving truck, beware of these spots on Storrow and Memorial Drives.

7. There actually are not more overhead bridge collisions on moving weekend vs. any other time…
8. …but that doesn’t mean that a moving truck won’t try to take Storrow anyway.
9. Don’t adopt the local wildlife.
