a fair trade booster seat

“I went back and it freaked me out,’’ the 39-year-old Brooklyn resident wrote. “Davis Square used to be a seedy area but a decent place to get a slice and a coke, or catch a game over a beer, but now appears to be a terrific place to sip a latte and, I don’t know, shop for a fair trade booster seat?’’

from On tiles, a story of gentrification

ya know those tiles in the davis sq t station? just as you enter on the side upstairs? even i remember those from taking the t as a teenager. pretty cool.

i guess that the tiles were created at a school, the Powderhouse Community School. i lived on powderhouse blvd right by tufts til i was 5. haha good work globe.

you can can also look at the projects web site, but it's crashed right now, due to extra traffic? who knows, but at least you can look at some more of the tiles on the background
