I just love this retro sign which marks tandem parking in a lot on the triangular intersection of Portland, Merrimac & New Chardon Streets. Even the parking system is retro with an attendant who mans a booth, holds the keys, and moves the cars around. Hard to imagine that in downtown Boston, where the property values are astronomical, that a simple parking lot is a lucrative business. However, Boston is reputed to be one of the most expensive cities in the United States to park a car.Friday, September 12, 2008

Who doesn't love beat up old retro signs?
realy retro this parking sign , very funny and so historical in Boston downtown !
I recently did some shots of this sign, and I put my commentary below it.
What was the Rapids? An old nightclub? Movie Theater? I don't know anyone who would give their parking lots a name.
