NorthEndWaterfront.com reports that Aaron Michlewitz, who represents the increasingly student filled North End and Beacon Hill, says the BRA needs to consider requiring dorms in the proposed garage re-do.

Perhaps Rep. Michlewitz is too young to remember when Beacon Hill residents managed to squash Suffolk's plans to turn the old MDC building across from the State House into a dormitory.

Occupy Boston and union members did not shut down the Charlestown Bridge tonight, unless you count the roughly two minutes police closed it to let the protesters march from Commercial Street onto Causeway Street.

Before the bulk of Occupy Boston came down Commercial Street (once again failing to lob even token protests at Romney headquarters), a bagpiper joined the hardhats and service workers who held protest signs where Commercial turns onto the bridge in advance of the rally.
