i hope right now someone is at work with menino's empty desk at the Filene's site, crumbling Boston Common infrastructure, sleeping homeless, a T station closed at 2am as drunks fumble for their car keys, a Uhaul truck carrying recent college grads off to NYC....
By the way - is that really Curley's desk? I'm not much for symbolism - but might be a nice touch if the next mayor put that out to pasture (maybe in a room in the Curley Mansion or Old City Hall) as a symbol of a new, more open generation in Boston politics?
Joel Brown, who doesn't live in Boston and so has no dog in our fight, explains why this empty-chair spot is so horrible:
... Sure, it's nicely shot, with hip angles and vaguely U2-ish background music, but a picture is still worth a thousand words, and the pictures here tell us Menino is a no-show. Just a few tweaks to the copy and it would make an excellent ad for one of his opponents. ...

Did anyone notice
That the Mayor is not AT his desk in any of those locations? I guess he was out fundraising.
Too easy....

Now that would be a funny commercial
Maybe Flaherty has the budget for that?
