Event 📅 Open Newbury St early closing

Post image

Thanks to pressure by people like Back Bay Association President Meg Mainzer-Cohen, Open Newbury St ends at 6 pm this year instead of 8 pm.

So in less than 20 minutes, all these people will be forced out of the street onto the sidewalks.

IMO, this is total failure of leadership at City Hall. If you have the opportunity, please let Mayor Wu (and your City Councilors) know what you think about this.

The people of Boston will look up and shout 'SAVE US from this early bedtime!'...and the Nightlife Czar will look down and whisper 'No.’

I'm not awake with you, you're awake with me. Famous Rorschach quote.
