So Verizon removed the telephone-history mural in its old Post Office Square building because the new owner is not a big fan of the working classes, or something. Jay Fitzgerald is outraged at the thought it might be sold to somebody in Rhode Island:

... It's a striking mural in the old WPA style. It depicts a major innovation developed in Boston. It should remain in Boston. ...

Yeah, it's a cool Art Deco light on the side of the old New England Telephone and Telegraph (now Verizon) building in Post Office Square, but so?
