More Bricks for Northeastern

NAG member Eileen Brewster, using her newfound smooth path from her Ruggles home to Symphony Plaza on Mass Ave. for today's NAG meeting, ran into workers laying brick on a road near the Hurtig Parking area.

Closer inspection revealed that the bricks are the dreaded fake-historic "City Hall Pavers" (because they are so irregular they look old), manufactured by Bridgewater Company Stiles & Hart. These are the same bricks on Huntington Avenue that we are now trying to get taken up.

The Northeastern News is interested in this story, and hopefully will be covering it in the coming week.

Why was Eileen using the access road along the commuter rail in the first place? Because Northeastern and its friends in the Fenway Alliance and at City Hall took Huntington Avenue away from her four years ago.
