West Roxbury mysteries

Apparently, the 12-space municipal parking lot off Centre Street in West Roxbury has become a major thoroughfare despite the lack of any outlet at the end opposite the entrance.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the neighborhood, a protest march for Tibetan independence on Washington Street near the Dedham line (complete with a couple of red-robed monks) this afternoon left us with a single question: "Huh?" If you're trying to gain attention for your cause, that spot is about the least likely place to hope for success - unless you really want to attract the people vacuuming their cars at the car wash.
