INSERT INSTALLED!

Photos by Jonathan...





































Some Photos from the Public Opening

Thanks to Quilian for helping with the photography!








Missed taking a picture of it earlier, but all the elderly residents of Chinatown who came also immediately stormed the periodicals section, pulled out all the chairs and the newspapers and started reading. It was really cool!



Winding down...for the first hour or so there were about 200 people
Not that you can really tell from the photographic evidence, but this is the lion dance to kick things off; the Mayor and like fifty other politicians arrived on cue at the same time and had to wait in the street.
This kid is like, 'stop taking pictures, you strange woman'
Very cute...
The kids at the opening spontaneously took over the kids' pod

Last piece!












I think this is when the remark was made that 'mdf is basically beaver puke'



Small moment of panic...nothing we can't glue back on









This is why we love Shawmut...
















And away we go!
