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.

Let's call it Venice Crossing
How about calling it Venice Crossing?
This could really revitalize the Downtown Crossing.
We could cross through the "canal-like" flooded streets with Gondolas.
Waterfire, too!
And they could turn the Filene's Hole into a swimming pool in the summer and a skating rink in the winter.
Just what Downtown Crossing needed
Something to cross.
They can relocate the lifeguard chairs from Boylston Beach. Stock the hole with carp. Pretend it's a tradition.
they made a movie about this place
Wasn't this the site location for "A River Runs Through It"?
Not surprising that Channel 5 has better images
Note the photo credit on their video stills. WCVB has Stanley Forman.
f/8 and be there, baby.
Street Cleaning
without the towing - heck, it's a car wash, too!
Hardly
Piles of dirt and rocks were washed all the way to Essex and Washington. Avenue de Lafayette looked like a sandbox tonight.
Coincidentally
Water St. was left completely dry.
