That's as bad as Boston's Mayor Manino not wanting the great tourist and money making Tall Ships to come into Boston for fear of crowds being drawn
Not to take this too off topic, but I think that was because Sail Boston wouldn't guarantee Mumbles the $1M in safety expenditures Alex ________________________________________ From: funsec-bounces () linuxbox org [funsec-bounces () linuxbox org] On Behalf Of Blanchard_Michael () emc com [Blanchard_Michael () emc com] Sent: Friday, May 29, 2009 9:13 PM To: fergdawgster () gmail com; funsec () linuxbox org Subject: Re: [funsec] Off Topic: Job fair canceled for fear of crowds Lol, what did they expect, only two people show up to apply for the "hundreds of openings"?

"A weekend job fair at a Dedham shopping center was postponed today after organizers became concerned that a flood of job seekers would snarl traffic and create safety problems. "The volume of expected attendees was much larger than we had initially anticipated," said David Fleming, marketing director for W/S Development, which was planning to host the job fair tomorrow at the new Legacy Place retail and entertainment complex. Fleming said his firm and Dedham officials became concerned when they started receiving a high volume of telephone calls about the event, which they did not advertise. He said W/S Development is now searching for a different venue for the event, which will be re-scheduled for a date within the next few weeks. The event was expected to connect job seekers with 14 retailers that plan to hire hundreds of workers before they open stores in Legacy Place this summer. The retailers include Apple, City Sports, L.L. Bean and Showcase Cinema De Lux."
