A Fort Point arts project?
285 Summer Street is far from residential Southie but quite close to a large cluster of artists. Could this be a project that was unofficially 'authorized', but someone forgot to tell the police?
"Unofficially authorized?"
"Unofficially authorized?" If you have authority, you're official. Putting that aside, nothing that is authorized, unofficially or otherwise, is done at 3:00 AM.
