Scuttlebutt: Video of the Week

(May 15, 2009) The teams competing in the Volvo Ocean Race 2008/9 leave the Boston stopover on Saturday, May 16th, and the race village that was created will soon be dismantled too. The village was constructed on an area called Fan Pier, which is an area of the city that has long sought development, but to date had very little recognition. It proved to be a tremendous venue, and with a mixed use development project in the works, the recognition that the race provided the area will reap significant dividends. This week's videos provide a look at the area for the Boston stopover.
