  1. Who knows what lies beneath? Old city, old infrastructure. What’s to be done? Our hands are tied, but our feet are not….avoid walking on manhole covers !

  2. You are right Heather, but sometimes the manhole covers could be covered by snow. The City is
    on an all time high & as far as I am concerned, they are just not doing enough. Our hands are not
    tied & neither are our Mouths. Strength is in numbers & this neighborhood doesn’t come together
    like Beacon Hill or Charlestown. Shame on us.
