The telltale Poe memorial to beat again - across the street
By adamg - Wed, 09/30/2009 - 2:35pm.
Mike Mennonno updates us on why the Poe memorial transformer box suddenly disappeared: It wasn't that the spirit of the Boston-hating writer suddenly struck it down but that the artist painted the wrong box.
He exchanged e-mail with her and reports she painted over the box by the Common herself and plans to re-create the wrapped mural on another circuit box near the Boloco across from Common.
No word on why she couldn't just leave the four-sided mural where it was, but no doubt some vitally important city regulation was involved.

the one across the street
the one across the street I'm assuming is closer to the long-time site of the plaque honoring Poe's birthplace, and perhaps the actual site as well....
Although a cooler site
Would be by Frog Pond, given that Poe called Boston "Frogpondia."
I saw the lady repainting
I saw the lady repainting the box when I was riding by the other day. I didn't know other people considered it in such high regard and thought little of it.
