		Work on the subway system began in March 1895 at the northeast corner of the Boston Common (see illustration), where workers, known as "sandhogs," used picks and shovels to dig out what would become the Park Street station.
		The rapid transit connection running under the harbor between Boston and East Boston would be the first tunnel of its kind in the United States.
		But on the Boston side of the newly-built Longfellow Bridge, the steep, narrow streets of Beacon Hill forced planners to abandon the method and instead burrow deep below the densely populated neighborhood (see illustration).

	Next stop, ad buzz - The Boston Globe
		In a first-of-its-kind commercial for Greater Boston, subway riders will see an ad for the Royal Caribbean cruise line take shape outside the windows of Red Line trains as they travel toward downtown Boston.
		The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority says the tunnel ads could generate nearly $1.5 million a year for the T. Meanwhile, advertisers are seeking new ways to reach the consumer amid a commercial deluge and the arrival of digital video recorders such as TiVo, which entirely sidestep messages from advertisers.
		Rob Walker, president of SideTrack, the Canadian company that in January won the contract to install the new advertising system and woo advertisers to the MBTA, said the company is bearing all the costs of installing the technology, including any tunnel repairs that need to be made.

	Getting Around Town on the T in The Boston Insider: Travel Tips on Getting the Most Out of Boston
		The subway is the oldest, the most interesting and the quirkiest part of the T system.
		Work on Boston's subway began in the 1890s, making it the oldest rapid transit system in the U.S. As you travel underground, you can occasionally glimpse abandoned tunnels leading away from the main line.
		If waiting forever for a subway train or being herded in like cattle doesn't appeal to you, try to avoid the crowds associated with major events near T stops, such as baseball games at Fenway Park, hockey games and concerts at the Fleet Center, and performances on the Charles River Esplanade.

		BOSTON, Massachusetts (CNN) -- Amid final preparations for the first political nominating convention since the attacks of September 11, 2001, security officials are preparing to lock down a huge area of Boston.
		Because of the security concerns and Logan International Airport's proximity to Boston's port and city center, the official said that more federal air marshals were being deployed on flights in and out of Boston and that passengers flying into the city would be given additional scrutiny.
		The FBI/Department of Homeland Security bulletin mentions that several people seeking asylum in Boston were turned away recently, but the department official called that a common occurrence that may have no connection to the convention.

	The Next Stop Is Sponsored by . . .; Name Sales Mulled for Boston Subway — Commercial Alert
		Sponsorship, which would allow businesses to plaster their names on and around stations in the nation’s oldest and fourth largest subway system, could raise as much as $ 20 million in the next five years, state officials said.
		But Boston’s mass-transit corporate sponsorship plan is the first of its kind, according to the American Public Transportation Association.
		A subway station is not a sports stadium, however, and Massachusetts officials may be overly optimistic in their revenue projections for an arrangement that one marketer said has “virtually no value.”

	Group Seeks Removal of Alcohol Ads from Boston Subway
		A group of Boston-area advocates known as Massachusetts Banding Together Against Alcohol Advertising (MBTAA) is urging the MBTA and its ad agency, Viacom Outdoor, to ban alcohol advertising on bus and train lines, arguing that alcohol ads promote underage drinking and binge drinking.
		At least magazine readers can turn the page, and TV viewers can change the channel, she noted; riders in a subway car literally covered in alcohol ads have no similar options.
		While allowing ads for alcohol, the agency limits such advertising by requiring that at least 3 percent of the ad space include a statement noting the legal drinking age in Massachusetts and warning of the dangers of alcohol consumption during pregnancy, in connection with the operation of heavy machinery, and while driving.

	Boston Cell-Phone Use Goes Down The Tubes - Technology News by TechWeb
		By If you think mobile phones won't operate underground, you would be wrong: Boston is planning to deliver mobile-phone signals in its subway system, after a study revealed that most riders would use their wireless phones in the tunnels.
		Consultants who studied the idea for the subway's operator, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), said riders were more likely to use email and Web access rather than voice functions, because talking would likely annoy other riders.
		According to the MBTA, a major part of the expense for underground service would be defrayed by the use of existing optical-fiber lines extending throughout much of Boston's subway lines.
