| BULFINCH TRIANGLE, a neighborhood bordered by Merrimac, Canal, and Causeway Sts near the FleetCenter (now Banknorth Garden) in downtown Boston, was also a major industrial area in the city, and the buildings still reflect as such.
The above building, at 112 Canal Street, once housed a manufacturer of chairs and office supplies. Although the building suffered a major 9 alarm fire in 1998 the advertisements remained intact. |

| Although it's difficult to see, this ad mentions "expert service here," and is on the side of the now abandoned Forecaster of Boston building. Note old Rapids Parking sign underneath. | ||||||||||||||||||

| Just down from the Bulfinch Triangle, half of this ad is now seen better with the elevated Central Artery no longer in its way. | ||||||||||||||||||
