David Weinberger reports on an encounter with a trash-bag-laden Dukakis outside Wheelock College yesterday:

The Boston Redevelopment Authority today approved plans for a 145-unit building on the Riverway in which most units will be aimed at the sort of people who could not possibly afford the sorts of apartments being built in the rest of the city.

The proposed 11-story building will be next to a Brigham and Women's Hospital building now under construction on the Riverway at Fenwood Road - and the hospital is a partner in the project, for which it is donating the land, along with the Roxbury Tenants of Harvard, a non-profit group that currently maintains some 1,000 apartments in the Longwood/Mission Hill area.

[EDIT: Service was restored by mid-afternoon]

Today, I was riding the E-Line outbound to Riverway a little after noon when we were told that Brigham Circle would be the last stop and we should all transfer to the #39 bus.

Upon the #39's arrival at Riverway, it was clear what the problem was. An inbound train (Type 8 lead car, Type 7 behind) was stuck at the sharp curve in the road. My first instinct was to think "Damn Breada probably derailed" but that was not the case.
