Item Text: I was on the corner of Dartmouth & Boylston Street from 11:30am to 1:00pm. I spoke to a very nice volunteer, a student in Boston. He even helped ask a jerk who was in the restricted area and was blocking the view from everybody, but especially little kids, if he could move slightly. The rude guy refused to move. Anyway, I can't help thinking of this nice student and hope it made it out OK. By the way the police presence was visible in the restricted area, not out of it.
