Great fun, ingenious devices as usual. Thanks, syzzie.

Thanks, syzygy.
Excellent as always, some very nice clues. Might be on the US-centric side, but that works for me.

Thanks Syzygy, good fun. I fared ok with the US references, though the “taxi company” and “Beantown” references needed a little googling. That “stream” on the other hand is where I grew up!

The Beantown clue is what I thought could be most mysterious outside the US.

Jono, lucky you!
I have done most of the ordinary clues but the misprints are beyond me

geeker and jono:

I live outside of Boston, was wondering if the nickname was ever heard of abroad.

Two degrees from Boston? Wow! (5,5)

That word for taxi isn’t used in the UK?
