“Non profit” wants to gold plate the Boston / lower end of the Charles River

Ellen Schloss has posted a link on the facebook page at http://www.bostonherald.com/business/real_estate/view.bg?articleid=1402556&format=comments#CommentsArea to the Boston Herald’s report on one of the typical non profit’s proposal for the Boston Esplanade on the south side of the Charles River and for the Charles River Dam area.

The non profit claims to love the peace and the beauty of the Charles. The Boston Herald link very prominently shows their proposal for a Ferris Wheel dominating the skyline at the Charles River Dam overwhelming the Museum of Science.

And the non profits, as a group, will keep on telling you how lovely they are. And their proposals are always called "improvements" or the like.
