Apparently Boston is raising the annual fee for publications that use these boxes and putting a cap on the number that any one publication can have. They made it out to seem like the new legislation could be a 1st amendment issue. The Dig actually had a piece about these last week.

These things are ugly and useless and there's a better way to get these publications out there. Plus, this is only one picture of several instances where these box rows are blocking the ramp up from the street, jutting out into the sidewalk and generally fucking up what little visual splendor this city sometimes has. Plus, I think we cover the condo/development/crime issues pretty thoroughly as well. Pay attention!

It makes me so happy every time I see it. but out of rainbow order? what an eyesore! google image yielded this, which I like: http://gapersblock.com/drivethru/foodbox.jpg in Boston outside the Back Bay station all the boxes are arranged in rainbow order (there are about 9 or 10 of them).

At least the boxes serve some purpose. Although if they actually do hinder wheelchair access, I agree something should be done. How about doing something with the land behind those boxes?

It's sometimes hard to find a place that has all the free publications. As for the other sales papers like Automart, the real estate ones, etc... those can go buh bye for all I care.
