Early-morning flood at Washington and Lafayette; be sure to check out Channel 4's artist's rendition of what the area looks like, then click to Channel 5 for actual photos.

How about calling it Venice Crossing?

This could really revitalize the Downtown Crossing.
We could cross through the "canal-like" flooded streets with Gondolas.

And they could turn the Filene's Hole into a swimming pool in the summer and a skating rink in the winter.

Something to cross.

They can relocate the lifeguard chairs from Boylston Beach. Stock the hole with carp. Pretend it's a tradition.

Wasn't this the site location for "A River Runs Through It"?

Piles of dirt and rocks were washed all the way to Essex and Washington. Avenue de Lafayette looked like a sandbox tonight.

Water St. was left completely dry.
