The largest commuter hub North of New York City is South Station, yet the largest abutter is a mail sorting facility. In 1965, yes 51 years ago, part of the site was sold and the Boston South Postal Annex was created. A number of things have changed since 1965 and some still need to; the Boston South Postal Annex should be redeveloped to better serve the community.
