I wonder if Canal Street is the right place for this.

if you want festive, you're gonna have to start knocking on every door.

Doors to the hyper rich who occupy the luxury housing on both ends of the street and doors to the multitudes of zonked out junkie zombies, many of them middle aged women, who populate the street itself and technically don't have doors. Canal Street doesn't work for this festival type pedestrian atmosphere they are trying to create and I have a nagging suspicion it's an attempt by the rich residents to sweep out the street people.

You don't have to be hyper rich to split a $3800/mo apartment with a buddy.

You just have to be hyper dumb. $1,900 a month for a place to poop, sleep, and shower that you don't own when you leave? That's an atrocious expense.

To other it's a reasonable expense to be in a new, full-service building in the heart of a major city.

I just don't want those people to come crying poor in old age. Or, honestly, ever.

In case you forgot, we have had some thunderstorms and rain and such today.

Either Charles Street, Salem Street, or Hanover Street (if you can figure out how to accommodate the fire station). All of these have more shopping and eating attractions than Canal Street.

Had no clue Saturday was open Canal street day. How will we come if we don't know it's happening....

Yeah Sunday during the day is hardly a time when Canal Street would be busy, unlike Newbury St.

I think they would be better closing it on a Friday or Saturday night, and allow the restaurants and bars to spill into the street, or simply choose a night when there's an event happening at TD Garden.
