| Long abstract | Big day! N’s team has been working at the old South Station site for months. The citywide destruction from the summer 2012 reactor blast at MIT has been mostly excavated but we’ve just now reached the lower levels of the station. So much work has continuously yielded nothing, but not today!!Bank of lockers found in a sealed off bathroom on one of the lower concourses. Just now looking at the pictures N just e-mailed .... He called earlier, breathless “You won’t believe it! Phones, jewelry, luxe objects from circa 2000! All mint, just dusty from all the debris! Book your ticket NOW!” I’m set to fly to Boston tomorrow but I can’t stop studying the preliminary images from the site – it’s a locker filled with glittering objects. Never seen so many shades of pink, all twinkling despite the dust. One by one the objects emerge from the locker – looks like at least a couple of communication devices, hard to make out the rest, looks like lots of beads and perhaps some dolls? Can’t tell, need to get my hands on this stuff. Will have to miss J’s birthday party tomorrow, but this should be worth it! |
