The day care center in City Hall.

Second bet, the City sent out word that there was going to be an event.

City Hall has a child care center. If you can believe it those kids are there everyday.

Since Walsh has been selling off our city parks (well the ones in minority neighborhoods at least) to local universities (Suffolk U got one in East Boston, Northeastern in Roxbury) to pay for their renovations, why not get some local university to turn government center common area into a park, while, like the other agreements, giving them priority access? I know Boston Common needs some renovations, so maybe Emerson could pitch in in return for giving them priority access?

Astroturfing is the practice of masking the sponsors of a message or organization (e.g., political, advertising, religious or public relations) to make it appear as though it originates from and is supported by grassroots participant(s).

The Tea Party is a great example of this, funded and started by the Koch Bro's.
