Anyone know what that HUGE camper thing that keeps driving slowly up Liberty Avenue actually is?

I bet the driver knows. Why don't you ask him or her?

I know what it is.

It's the mobile biological lab where they will perform mandatory swine flu vaccinations, if necessary. Get ready. :)

Did it look like this?

If so, it's a mobile air quality testing lab. A Tufts study is underway to test mobile vehicle pollution in neighborhoods abutting I-93. They are also testing around Kidder as a comparison of a neighborhood further away that does not suffer the same highway air pollution effects.
