Some people don't know or don't care. For reference popular mechanics used to advocate pouring motor oil into a small pit lined with sand in your back yard. Some people just don't gaf

Thanks, can't do that because my state on West coast requires car to be present for registration - DMV checks the VIN and the odometer in person. BUT, I just got out of the Watertown RMV, showed up early, and 1 1/2 hours I have plates. No question or issue w my OOS license. Thanks for the help!

To everyone commenting about eating your catch: fish caught in Boston harbor is and was completely safe to eat. Even caught in front of encore. For two reasons:
-
The water is tidal, and harmful chemicals leaching from the ground get diluted out into the ocean really quickly. The day lily tidal swing in front of encore is 9-12 ft.
-
The fish being targeted there (mostly striped bass, sometimes bluefish, mackerel) spend very little time of their lives in the inner harbor waters and don’t accumulate toxins. They migrate up and down the coast and follow their bait into the harbor during the short summer season. Their bait (bunker, mackerel, pollock, etc) also does not spend their lives in these waters.
Pretty sure that folks commenting here either don’t eat fish at all, or buy farm-raised tilapia and salmon. Fun fact is that farm-raised fish is much more disgusting (bacteria, antibiotics, hormones, parasites) than any Boston harbor-caught wild fish you can get your hands on.

If it was toxic why would they fish on the site unless they want to kill themselves from whatever it was in the fish if any.

I don't want to reward them for lobbying to make their competitions worse, plus they still try to scam you with shitty routes and "broken" meters.

You can time striper season in the bays and harbors to when the water warms up to 55-65 degrees, so it's best in mid spring and mid fall. I have more experience with this in Narragansett Bay than the Mystic or Boston Harbor though.

Went there (Audobon) for the last race and it was a blast but definitely gets packed. If you’re going solo it’s not bad and you can sit at the bar!

The drop off for terminals A C and E are in central parking, B is near the terminal. The pick up for all four is central parking.

You weren’t being dramatic. It wasn’t technically a superfund site but it was really bad for a long time.
Imagine other cities letting property that close to Boston lay fallow.
