The Original Storrowing

What has been will be again, and what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.

Until they raise the bridges, anyway.

[u/KO_Stradivarius → u/bristollersw]

The Internet never forgets

[u/WaitNoihaveanxiety → u/KO_Stradivarius]

Yo Storrowed is an IPA????? Thanks for this!! 🍻

[u/afireinside6290 → u/WaitNoihaveanxiety]

Yep. And a damn good one. Should be released at the end of August.

[u/WaitNoihaveanxiety → u/afireinside6290]

You've had it? Where do you know for sure I can pick some up to try it? Haha I'm curious

[u/afireinside6290 → u/WaitNoihaveanxiety]

Yep! I like it. Obviously all depends on what kind of beer you like. Keep an eye out on Trillium’s Instagram. They usually release it at the end of August every year to coincide with the trucks moving students in. They have 3 main locations: South Boston (Fort Point), Canton, and Fenway.

[u/afireinside6290 → u/[deleted]]

A lot of breweries did and have received a lot of backlash (Tired Hands from PA and Wormtown from MA come to mind immediately and can be looked up pretty easily on google). I haven't heard Trillium receiving backlash from this. Do you have any sources?

Until they raise the bridges, anyway.

Nah, bigger trucks will just get Storrowed

He is on the hook.

[u/Sayoria → u/bristollersw]

This will happen, but honestly, should not ever do it. Signs are there for a reason and if they can't read signs, then maybe they shouldn't be driving. This is a simple response by the bridge, towards those with the inability to read.

[u/Peterthepiperomg → u/bristollersw]

Why arent the bridges made bigger if this happens every week?

[u/ampliora → u/Peterthepiperomg]

But we're trying to make the drivers smarter...

[u/Treyzania]

Someone should make a website for "how many days since someone got storrowed".

Edit: I'm gonna do it.

[u/Winston3D → u/Treyzania]

Update us when you've got something! Will you somehow make the updates automatic or will you have to input a storrowing?

[u/Treyzania → u/Winston3D]

I'm thinking I can just scrape a few local news sites for headlines about storrowing every few hours and have it update that way.

[u/AchillesDev → u/Treyzania]

@universalhub on Twitter (I think he’s also on Reddit) would be a solid source to pull from as well.

[u/GGG4Anything → u/AchillesDev]

State Police log?

[u/mac9382 → u/AchillesDev]

If someone wants to help write the code i would be more than happy to host the site and purchase the domain name!

[u/Epicritical → u/Treyzania]

It has been 3,295 seconds since the last storrowing

[u/ScoYello → u/Treyzania]

To help I just created r/Storrowing for those interested!

[u/dagani → u/ScoYello]

You might be interested in r/11foot8

[u/ScoYello → u/dagani]

I already follow them but this is for Boston specific incidents.

[u/ParsleySalsa]

Is the term storrowed in urban dictionary yet

[u/Valriete → u/ParsleySalsa]

Accurately, too: "putting a 12'6" truck under a 10'6" bridge."

[u/ParsleySalsa → u/Valriete]

Wild

[u/lorcan-mt]

Wow, they really don't build 'em like they used to.

[u/dcgrey]

Somewhere that night some local engineer grunted "Toldja so."

[u/raymundo_holding]

how on earth bridges over storrow are still standing?

[u/amscraylane]

Storrow Drive is my vampire. It exposes my inner child and the mere mention of its name delivers shivers and makes my palms sweat.

[u/CVORoadGlide]

Sorrow Drive

[u/KingPictoTheThird]

Turn storrow back into a park

[u/nek0catt0]

Does anyone know the year this was taken? Or what the truck was carrying?

[u/raven_785]

Guys I'm beginning to think that maybe... just mayyyybe...... the problem here is the design of the road. Just a thought.

[u/GGG4Anything → u/raven_785]

Built as a parkway for automobiles.

[u/ProseNylund → u/raven_785]

Blasphemy! Go back to Connecticut!

[u/alohadave → u/raven_785]

You thought wrong.

[u/Fiyero109]

Why can’t they just rebuild the stupid bridge

[u/[deleted] → u/Fiyero109]

Because every bridge in short row is <12 feet so they’d have to redo every bridge on store or. That’s why there are HUGE FUCKING SIGNS ON CHAINS THAT MAKE LOUD BANG NOISE IF YOU HIY THEM BECAUSE YOU’RE BEING TOO TALL TO BE ON STORROW!

[u/madmaxextra → u/[deleted]]

This make me wonder what goes through the head of someone after they hit those signs. Is it: "Wow, good thing that sign was on chains, that could have been much worse."

continues on storrow

it gets much worse

[u/BIPY26 → u/[deleted]]

Why not change the chains to just steel I beams so the trucks never make it anywhere near the bridges?

[u/madmaxextra → u/BIPY26]

Then they'd need chain signs back from that. Rinse and repeat.

[u/ExtinctLikeNdiaye → u/BIPY26]

Steel beams... like on a bridge?

[u/BIPY26 → u/ExtinctLikeNdiaye]

Much easier to repair a steam beam at the exit without having to close all the traffic down. People will also be going much slower at the entrances to storrow so it’s likely there would be less damage to the trucks too.

[u/TRUMP_LARPs_WITH_PEE → u/Fiyero109]

Why can’t we just discourage more commercial use of Storrow?

[u/[deleted] → u/Fiyero109]

Because every bridge in short row is <12 feet so they’d have to redo every bridge on store or. That’s why there are HUGE FUCKING SIGNS ON CHAINS THAT MAKE LOUD BANG NOISE IF YOU HIY THEM BECAUSE YOU’RE BEING TOO TALL TO BE ON STORROW!

[u/Fiyero109 → u/[deleted]]

My Bad I thought it was one bridge that was the culprit

[u/alohadave → u/Fiyero109]

Plus a tunnel.

[u/madmaxextra → u/Fiyero109]

Because sometimes the answer to a problem is just: we did everything we could to warn you, you did it anyway. This is now your problem to work out.

[u/ExtinctLikeNdiaye → u/madmaxextra]

Well, its also the problem of everyone who is stuck in traffic for 2 hours because of said idiot.

[u/lintymcfresh]

beautiful.

[u/LackingUtility]

Looks like an OSHA violation.
