Dirt on the Boston Globe, Thanks to the Herald

According to the Boston Herald, the Globe's 135 Morrissey Boulevard location is contaminated with diesel fuel and lead from a 1988 spill. The Herald cites "documents filed at the Suffolk County Registry of Deeds" as the source for this news, and says state Department of Environmental Protection spokesman Joe Ferson confirmed the spill. Ferson added that a change in what the Morrissey Boulevard site is used for could require unspecified cleanup costs. The Herald breathlessly informs us that the contamination could lower the property value, which implies the sale price could go down. The Globe's owner, the New York Times, is reportedly selling the paper and has generated local interest. Please read the comments at the Herald's website for every obvious joke about this story.
