That's no suprise. Last time it was there it was about to collapse under rain conditions and no snow.

Don't you remember from like three years ago where cars were getting dripped on? No surprise there.........

I enter my car several years ago, back around 2006-2007, we were parked near front by fried dough area. Don't remember any big leaks then. We had a nice spot. Assuming bldg. continued to go down hill.
Have never been to new show bldg. Many older bldgs. need to be closely checked in extreme conditions like we have had.

I believe that the building was scheduled for demolition.The snow just help speed it up a little

The buliding is scheduled for demo come spring. UMASS boston bought the location.......it's also a spot that might be used for the 2024 olympics as well.

I wonder if the T will be running by then?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.... <sniff>...Hahahahahahahahahaha!

OMG, I can't imagine what a laughingstock Boston would be if they ever win that selection. I think this years problems with the T probably put a nail in the coffin of any hopes Boston had at being host.
The IOC is probably looking at Boston like this now:

I remember there were hundreds of buckets hanging in the rafters in an attempt to catch the leaks...Didn't Keith's street rod get drenched once there??

I think the people of Boston understand just fine that it would be a disaster. It's the merchants and politicians that need an infusion of common sense. All they see is dollar signs and prestige.

And his pay is only 7,500 a day.When asked where that money was coming from they said private contributions.With the problem that they have a with the T they may have just put them selves out of the running.I myself don't see it happening.If the people of Boston get to vote on it.Its dead
