Ever wonder what “Evacuation Day” is?  After a British-led, 11-month siege of Boston, the Continental Army pushed the Red Coats out to sea with cannons placed high above the harbor in Dorchester Heights.  The “Evacuation” is no now celebrated in Boston and Somerville on March 17 (“free parking” everyone!).

Interesting stats from the PAST month: (sublease & direct – in all cases temp space excluded) from Mass Ave to the Seaport, South End to North Station.
