[Tigers] Tigers Digest, Vol 18, Issue 119

The powers that be would be doing everyone a favor if they did more than
just collect money at the gate. The last few times I went to BCD in
Brookline, it was like a plane crash on a mountain side, total free for
all. Parking for other than show cars sucks also. Spend an entire Sunday
and just be aggravated by the time you leave.
 Thanks, anyways,
   Jeff
