[PRCo] Boston green line

[Daria Phoebe Brashear]

Had occasion last weekend to take a couple more pictures while on my way to
a protest, 2 at Lechmere and one of the installation of murals
of the PCCs and Boeings which were in Government Center until renovation.
Technically probably wasn't supposed to be marching 19 days
out from surgery, but I haven't let my supposed infirmity preclude me from
anything else, either.

The thing that struck me about Lechmere was that it was rather like the
ramp to West Liberty: a way to leverage rapid transit grade separation for
surface lines, but in that case it didn't provide an easy transfer point,
whereas it still does at Lechmere, at least until the Green Line Extension
(hopefully
someday) changes it all.

The Government Center murals are interesting enough that I'm seeing about
getting prints to hang in my bedroom.
