I was working for Honeywell in Needham Heights (or was it Newton Upper  
Lower Middle Falls?) at the time.  We all parked in a big shared  
parking lot adjacent to the then-new Channel 7 tower.  Probably the  
most "exciting" breezy day for us was the day they painted the  
tower....I believe there were lots of damage claims resulting from  
that episode.
