This happened 5 years ago. Why has there been no movement? If Wu wanted this it would already be done. Selling it to her new building commission to Jake high end condos. This is pure BS.

I worked at the hospital that was there until it closed in 1990...I was a nurse there and loved it...that bridge was a real trip...you could see through the metal grates you drove on dpwn hundreds of feet to the harbor for lack of blacktop from no maintenance ...itt was so.old at that time and lots of old empty offices ...there was a plaque that hung on the wall and some very old photos that were shown to me by a nurse who'd worked there for many years the plaque stated that the property was donated to the City of Boston to be used for the public good for a hundred years...I know that that time has passed and always said to myself that when.it was they'd be wealthy persons living there...
