I was wondering if there had been a giant candlepin bowling match ...

Of course Boylston is a wind-tunnel. It's not too unusual to see that cluster of newsboxes upended like that. When I started working down here I thought someone didn't make the turn out of the Hyne's driveway, but then came to realize that they are just frequent big air victims.
