Boston Convention Center Now Allowing "Boat Shows"

The Boston Business Journal has an article about the effects of the BCEC allowing exposition shows: Bayside by the Wayside.

Originally, when the Convention Center was created, Boat Shows and other events which draw significant numbers of ticket-buying patrons were strictly forbidden. This was to limit the traffic and noise impact on South Boston, as conference goers usually don't drive in.

Last year, Romney signed a bill which changed this and now the BCEC is allowed to have these kinds of shows. The neighborhood was sent a notice about this and it slipped under our radar. If someone finds more details on the bill, please follow this up with a comment or email the FPNA at: fpna@dewdrops.net.

Car Stolen from Medallion Way

A reminder that Fort Point, while relatively safe, is an urban neighborhood and crime does happen. Paul and Stephanie who live in Midway report that last Tuesday night, their car was stolen from along the Post Office fence / Medallion Way. It was later found, abandoned and banged up.

If you any suspicious activity in that area or anywhere else in the neighborhood, please report it to the police.
