What is this a Tabloid now?

Does this mean...
...we can finally take down all his want-ads around the city with his name on them? Oops I mean totally legitimate city signs bearing his name taking credit for public works projects years after he stopped being mayor?
Mumbles did the same
As is Wu. It’s a stupid Boston Mayoral tradition which needs to end.
Not just Boston
Other cities deal with the same informal non-election political campaigning. It would be better if all states forbade mayor's from plastering their names on benches and whatever else they can stick their names to.
For all the condemnation of Wu just how frequently has she painted her name wherever she can instruct city employees to label?
Those are long gone
It's all Michelle Wu now. She even finally noticed the one Kim Janey sign around the corner from her house and got that changed, 2 years after taking office.
I will always give Romney credit for doing away with putting names on every single sign. I can only wish that we get a mayor one day that will do the same.
Yes On Romney, But...
He also did back up traffic to NH on 93 the day after the Sox won in 04 so he could make look like he was the one taking down the Reverse The Curse sign over Storrow.
He should have been shot out of a cannon for that.
No they’re not
look around. Menino has his name carved in some stone signs in the City. He did this knowingly that it would be expensive to replace the stone. Now they want to name the BCEC after him? Be gone already.
Congrats to the couple
Happy to hear this news, as they both seem like nice people and together served the city well for many years. It's generally a nice article, but a bit strange when it says "they live in a home close to Boston's border with Milton". Does that not count as Boston? Plenty of other electeds, like Andrea Campbell to take one example, live on the border of Milton, too. It just seems like a strange way to describe where they live rather than simply saying...Dorchester (or if you want to be picky, Lower Mills)!
Hey, and Menino lived close to the border with Dedham!
Yes, kind of an odd thing to say in a small city with irregular (i.e., river-based) borders.
OT: Welcome to [your town here] signs
Do the Welcome to [your town here] signs you see on major roadways actually have anything to do with the borders? I live on the Boston side of the Welcome to Milton sign on Blue Hill Avenue. Am I a Miltonian or a Bostonian?
BOT: Congratulations to the happy couple!
Hizzoner?

Couldn't he at least wait a few more months until he is not paid by us for his vacations?

Are you an NHL player that is currently paying his salary?
I'm curious
Which NHL team do you play for, that you are paying dues to the NHLPA?
Sorry, I'll ask Comrade
Sorry, I'll ask Comrade Colonel to update our talking points.

Funny this drops the day after we find out about his cousin
Was it planned as a charm offensive to quell the voices of those screaming $16K a month pension for your cousin????
The Other Marty Walsh
The same cousin who berated Boston 2024 opponents at the RCC meeting? He seems like a nice guy.
That Painter in New Bedford . . .
might still be available.
