v2.0.1
since they revised the revised plan behind closed doors.
Live online?
neat - can they also set up one of those running clocks, like the national debt one, that tallies the current estimated public cost for the games?
Forget the debt clock.
They need a 2024 doomsday clock. When it hits midnight Davey will need a new job.

The one that starts yapping at its own shadow. So, no, and in the meantime, just scroll down to the next post.
From now on...

Many of the rest us do care, and think we should do our best to oppose this thing.
Walsh got to consider the Olympics a little earlier this AM
Black Lives Matter protesters showed up at his Dorchester home at dawn for a little bit of raucous protesting.
That does it!
I'm going to start leaving my press contact information at the end of all my posts!
Clearly one of those days
Clearly one of those days where I should have picked up the Red Line at Savin Hill instead of JFK.
They picked the wrong day to
They picked the wrong day to literally get the mayor's attention as he's out of town in Colorado.
My wife gets the print
My wife gets the print edition of the Boston Business Journal, and says they have a blurb that Shawmut Construction has named a new Director of Hotels and a Director of Sports Venues. Sounds like somebody thinks the bid is going to be a winner.
Anybody subscribe online and can provide a link? I couldn't find the article.
Titatnic otherwise known as the Big O
I've said this many many many times before but I'll say it again.
You can re-arrange the deck chairs as much as you want on the Titanic, but the ship is still going to sink.
Same with Boston2024.. they can offer version 564685465.001 and we're still not buying this.
The Globe
has a pretty good rundown of what to expect.
Interesting tidbit:
It sounds like they're going to lean very heavily on the whole "Hey, the T is in trouble and this can fix it with this" thing. Which is a complete joke, because we shouldn't need the Olympics to fix what's wrong with our city.
They also seem to be relying on the idea of building new neighborhoods once the village and stadium come down to change minds. Yet we just keep getting more housing that the average person can't afford in the neighborhoods we already have.
Pass.
I haven't been there in
I haven't been there in awhile, but uh, what's wrong with Broadway's entrance that it needs a hundred million dollar upgrade?!?
Not equiped for tons of people flocking to the games?
It would be like the St Patrick's Day Parade for weeks, and Broadway Station cannot handle anything more than rush hour without completely breaking down.
Same Here
and no idea. I think KSquared may have nailed it above.
