But ... Broadway doesn't go to the Nave Gallery. That's on Powder House Boulevard.

Hmm... call 311 and ask? But I suppose they could be closing Broadway from Magoun Sq to Powderhouse park (which covers Trum field and Powderhouse park both) and then closing off Powderhouse Blvd to the Nave Gallery.
Is there an event at the Nave Gallery?

BTW, SomerStreets was a total bust. Anyone know why?

I agree. This was too long a street, with not enough commercial activity along it to sustain interest. Would have been better to concentrate it in either Ball Square or Magoun Square.
