Richard George 2 says: I remember the window ordeal at the Hancock. They had the streets surounding the building roped off to keep pedestrians from being hit with falling window panes. In fact I got to work in the building during a High School work release program offered by the Boston Public Schools in 1974/75. I saw the bare bones of the intererior as it was being constucted

Richard George 2 says: When I was growing up in Boston my parents would make trips to Haymarket for produce etc. I loved the sounds and the smell of the place, the vibrant comings and goings of the vendors and shoppers. My parents just called it: "The Market"
