Wicked Local Allston/Brighton reports that at-large Council candidate Tomas Gonzalez has an idea for City Hall Plaza: A community vegetable garden, at least until the city finally figures out what to do with the barren stretch of brick:

The Dorchester Reporter informs us that Tomas Gonzalez, who'd been helping Andrew Kenneally build a campaign for an at-large seat on the city council, has now decided he wants one of those seats himself.

There are four at-large seats. Two of the current councilors, Michael Flaherty and Sam Yoon, are running for mayor this year. Gonzalez is a former former chief of staff of Boston’s Commission on the Affairs of the Elderly and the former Latino liaison to the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Services.
