Charlie On The MTA

I was waiting for a Green Line train at Park Street Station this morning, and noticed an informational sign on the platform that seems perfectly appropriate. I always knew there was more to the story of The Kingston Trio’s greatest hit.

Park Street Station is over 100 years old and certainly shows its age, but Alewife Station is less than half that old and is literally falling apart - especially the garage, large parts of which have been fenced off. The parts of the garage that remain available for parking do not inspire confidence that your car will not have been crushed by the prematurely crumbling roof.

Infrastructure, baby…
