Re: (rshsdepot) Why are they closing North Station during the Democratic Convention and not South Station?

See, I never put two and two together....I thought I didn't know where it
was but the Celtics and Bruins play there so duh....Must be a subconscious
thing about modern angles and planes architecture or a repulsion towards
demolition of landmarks.

My question really sort of related to something else...maybe I should have
rephrased it as Why did they decide to have both conventions on top of big
downtown railroad stations?  Life went on as usual but now everyone seems to
regret it, even having an election...Is this trying to have your cake and
eat it too, or would the cake have to have poison in it?
