“The dog that did nothing in the night-time” - Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes’s story, “Silver Blaze”. The absence of something can be meaningful.
From July...

The perp’s been a busy little scissor hands...
Lots of mental illness out there and too few social workers on the beat I suppose.
By the end of World War II, Scollay Square had deteriorated into a shanty town and a red-light district. The Old Howard had become an increasingly tawdry burlesque establishment.
As early as the 1950s, city officials had been mulling plans to completely tear down and redevelop the Scollay Square area, in order to remove lower-income residents and troubled businesses from the aging and seedy district. Attempts to reopen the sullied Old Howard by its old performers had been one of the last efforts against redevelopment; but with the theater gutted by fire, a city wrecking ball began the project of demolishing more than 1,000 buildings in the area; 20,000 residents were displaced.
The city offered to give any demolished materials to anyone who could load and take away a full dump truck load. The materials included street paving blocks (Belgian blocks quarried in Quincy), granite, lintels, and bricks.
With $40 million in federal funds, the city built an entirely new development on top of old Scollay Square, renaming the area Government Center, and peppering it with city, state, and federal government buildings: Boston City Hall, City Hall Plaza, Government Service Center, and the Edward W. Brooke Courthouse.
It’s ok. It all falls under the “just another peaceful protest” blanket.
> Of course they’ll say Trump encouraged the attack on reporters. <
How the times have changed. Every bad thing used to be blamed on Global Warming. Now every bad thing is blamed on Donald Trump.
Wrong Square.....I am very familiar with both.
.
Rock beats heads!!
Reporter shoulda pulled out a rock. Rock beats scissors.
LOL....make that a Rock Island .45 and you've got a winner !
I’m feeling lucky. Put me in the “What’s the Story” pool for it being a cute puppy story.
Boston city mall looks like a damn prison.
Lived in Boston from ‘94 to ‘02. Fun city, and I worked not far from Copely. Bum central as long as I was there. The library was gruesome.
The department head of Engineering at SUNY ESF Syracuse got a lot of money consulting about the redesign of the replacement windows on the Hancock Tower in the 1980’s.
He had a PHD in Civil Engineering. He was traveling back and forth between SU and Boston for several years.
It is really a bad thing for the window to fall out from the 58th floor of a building to the sidewalk below. It can ruin someones day.(sarc)
They done sent a cracka to cover the protests? BLM - Burn, Loot, Murder.
What's really bad is if the whole building tipped over.A Swiss design architect discovered that the Hancock Tower was improperly anchored and a very strong wind from a certain direction could cause it to tip over.
That was fixed post-haste.
I think Tom Brady has one of his TB12 workout facilities across the street from there now.
Maybe this guy was probably just upset with Tom’s Tampa Bay debut this Sunday.
Plus the Red Sox suck. The Bruins lost to the Lightning.
No one cares about the Celtics anymore.
Things like this can make a Boston sports fan go crazy.
No one can blame him for stabbing a reporter.
Need to change that up to “Glock beats scissors.”
