Life stops dead when the delegates are in town

Unmitigated Gall

I live north of Boston, and commute to the city every day to work. So imagine my consternation when I find that North Station, the only train station I can get to from where I live, will almost certainly be closing for the duration of the Democratic Party convention in July of 2004. Traffic will be re-routed as well, but that’s an everyday thing around here.

I’m glad that the city of Boston got the convention, as it’s quite the moneymaker. But can’t they figure out a better way to accommodate thousands of commuters than to shut down their only conduit in and out of the city? Oh, I COULD take a bus, but I’m already up at 5:30 to commute as it is.  I realize it’s not the fault of the Democrats, but since I can’t vote against the people who did this in Boston elections…
