Boston - A $53.5-million publicly funded parking garage and bus way at Wonderland Station in Revere officially opened over the weekend, officials said..."The striking new Wonderland station entrance announces the special place that this area will soon become," he added. "This is a very exciting day for me as mayor of this proud city.”
And of course, the comments:
I mean, I'd be shocked if the Revere Board of Tourism didn't throw the rendering of the garage up with the first commenters quote on a huge Billboard on Route 1A right next to the 30 foot statue of the Virgin Mary trying to attract people to the Jewel of Parking garages on the Northshore.
This is just so Revere I can't stand it. Kellys Roast Beef, Old fat men tanning on the sidewalks, and genuine excitement about a new parking garage (that hardly looks like the artist rendering above)...Welcome to Revere Beach.
PS: Maybe building parking garages that some how cost $53 million dollars isn't the smartest thing to do when you're perpetually complaining about crushing debt, eh, MBTA?
Logging you in...

Yes, and parochial local yokals from one town making the same stupid snide comments about the local yokals from another is only the beginning of how it manifests itself. Yes, Revere (like most towns in the northeast) has a lot of people with tacky taste, but going out of your way to invent a hypothetical tacky situation when no such situation exists is also very tacky.
