The plants are in front of Daniel's Bakery, not the ice cream shop. The guys who own Three Scoops are really nice people; I had a hard time believing they would have done something like this. Wish you had double-checked your source, as well. I live in this neighborhood & just drove past on my way home. The plants are in front of Daniel’s Bakery, not the ice cream shop.

I guess I only meant "generally" in front of the ice creamery. Sorry I mislead you about the location of the racks, BB. I guess I only meant “generally” in front of the ice creamery.

I'm sure she'll be happy to keep the planter plot away from the racks. One of her employees may have been screwing up. Walk in and talk to the Brazilian woman who now owns Daniel’s Bakery.

Since the Lord Mayor is up for reelection, I guess a call to the Mayor's hotline would get those planters out of there fast. Are shops allowed to put planters (or signs, or furniture) on the sidewalk wherever they want? I don't think people can put anything on the sidewalks without approval from the city. maybe a call to Boston Inspectional Services would help.
