An Unexpected Encounter
As I was setting up my t-shirt pushcart under Macy’s at Downtown Crossing this morning at about 9:30, there was someone talking on a loudspeaker to a group of people walking down Washington Street in the direction of State Street, but I wasn’t really paying attention. Lo and behold, as I was pinning some shirts on the side of the cart, Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino walked by, not five feet away from me. He looked at me for a couple seconds, I sheepishly smiled, and then he continued talking about the private development project at Downtown Crossing or whatever it was that he was talking about.
