They become construction engineers for projects in downtown Boston. Faegirl photographed the marked-up chaos on State Street by the Old State House the other day.

Directions for the Alien Invasion?
Does it have something to do with this?
What a bunch of pigs.
Disgusting is what it is.
I think it actually looks
I think it actually looks kind of cool. The main question is, if it was done by utility companies, I think we'd better be prepared for a massive loss of power and water soon, because that "diagram" is a clusterf*ck of directions.

I disagree. Its either: -a
I disagree. Its either:

I was down there the other
I was down there the other day, and as I was walking over it, I noticed that someone had spray painted "Where's Waldo?" in one of the clear spaces.
I think that it is the basis
I think that it is the basis for ripping up the street (Devonshire) in the near future. There are 10 manhole covers in this one little area and each has a different color spray paint on it and a different border (dashes or straight lines).
Might be related to all that water we had earlier this year at this spot.
Either way, I don't look forward to them tearing up the street because I work right there, literally...I have to lead tourists over that sidewalk. Just makes work more interesting, I suppose.
