The mayor’s first appointment to the Boston Redevelopment Authority board, Theodore Landsmark, was fired as president of Boston Architectural College last week, according to people briefed on his dismissal ...
City Hall officials said Mayor Martin J. Walsh had not been aware of Landsmark’s termination. “This was news to the Mayor today,” spokeswoman Kate Norman said via e-mail late Tuesday.
True story about that flag incident is the guy was just waving it, and he and Landsmark got too close to each other. Unless someone can positively correct me, even Ted Landsmark has said the guy didn't deliberately hit him with the flag. It certainly made a name for the photographer.
But only partially right. You're correct in saying the guy was not trying to run Landsmark through with the flag. What he was trying to do was smack him with it.
Rakes was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon and sentenced to two years in the House of Correction and two years probation. The jail sentence was suspended.
I don't know much about the terms of the lease at 100 Mass Ave, but The BAC underwent a major expansion when they took over the old BPD building at 951 Boylston in 2012. It's an inspiring space - well worth visiting. Might be limited access over the summer, though.

Ted is also
the man getting attacked with the american flag in that iconic photograph from the busing riots.
Allegedly, he was let go from the BAC for financial reasons. They also just let their lease on 100 mass ave go after a decade.

Cool story, bro

Anyone know if loss of 100 Mass Ave is tied to recent expansion?
