Gerard Richard Lee, 70, was arrested Friday after a police officer saw him "spray paint graffiti, including swastikas, on the air intake stack at the JKF Federal Building," the US Attorney's office in Boston reports.

Lee faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted on the one count of injuring or depredating government property, the US Attorney's office says.

Innocent, etc.

New Dunkin' at Government Center Green Line stop

Hannah shows us the new coffee/donuts stand on the Green Line platform at Government Center, which will, finally, replace the one taken out when the station was rebuilt, which forced addicted Bostonians to climb all the way up the stairs and shade their eyes from the bright sun as they shuffled to the Dunkin' Donuts roughly 20 feet from the station entrance, or, if that one was too busy, the one just around the corner, past the Starbucks.

Earlier this afternoon, the Lechmere train I was on pulled into Government Center. After the robo-voice announced the station, it stated the usual "The destination of this train is Lechmere" twice. After the second destination announcement, the robo voice then stated "This train will run express to Haymarket."

About half the people in the front car, including me, immediately broke out in laughter.
