From YouTube: City Hall Garage Renaming
Description
City Hall employees like Jimmy Donnelly, a parking garage attendant, are usually far away from the headlines, but are irreplacable to those they greet each day. In recognition of the dedication to his job and his friendly spirit, Mayor Walsh renames the parking garage in Donnelly's honor.
A
There's
a
statue
of
Bill
Russell
in
that
statue,
Bill
Russell,
was
about
his
accomplishments,
as
people
would
say
the
greatest
celtic
of
all
time
and
one
of
the
greatest
basketball
player
of
all
time
in
the
NBA,
and
it
was.
It
was
something
that
he
accomplished
on
the
court
and
how
he
changed
the
game
of
basketball
and
how
he
changed
for
boston
across
the
street.
A
There
was
another
press
conference
here
at
one
plane
and
it
was
about
unveiling
a
statue
of
a
guy
who
was
larger
than
life
as
the
mayor
of
Boston,
Kevin,
White
and
people
came
to
celebrate,
Kevin
White's
leadership
as
the
mayor
of
Boston
and
other
things
that
he
did
and
a
lot
of
people
came
because
they
came
because
they
would
they
were
invited
to
and
they
wanted
to
be
part
of
that
celebration.
As
you
go
around
the
city,
you
go
to
the
marine
industrial
yard
and
there's
the
marine
industrial
Yards.
We
changed
the
name.
A
We
had
a
press
conference
on
that
as
well
and
we
we
named
it
after
former
mayor
Ray,
Flynn
and
people
came
to
that.
We
talked
about
and
celebrated
his
accomplishments
and
at
Boston
Medical
Center.
There
was
a
another
press
conference
for
me
and
Menino
and,
as
you
go
around
the
city,
there's
a
lot
of
things
named
after
people
and
I
said
in
the
paper.
Yesterday.
Usually
it
starts
with
the
Honorable
and
very
really
do
we
have
a
person
that
comes
into
an
administration
or
it
comes
into
a
job.
A
A
I
said
this
in
the
paper
yesterday,
when
I
was
talking
to
Tom
the
reporter
I
said:
Jimmy
is
the
first
person
you
see
so
when
you
think
about
government's,
whether
they're
coming
to
see
me
in
the
mayor's
office
or
City,
Council's
or
leadership,
or
what
have
you
the
very
first
person
many
people
encountered,
is
Jimmy
Donley
and
he's
smiling
and
talking
and
making
it
work,
not
complaining
about
his
job
and
when
you
think
about
the
impact.
Well,
I
was
at
the
hospital
the
other
day
visiting,
Jimmy
and
I
was
thinking
about
it.
A
I
went
in
to
say
hello
to
him,
not
say
goodbye
to
him.
I
want
to
say
hello
to
him,
and
he
was
talking
to
me
a
little
bit
about
some
stuff
and
his
mom
is
DL
and
I
left
there
and
then
in
after
that
was
Eddie
McGuire
and
then
everybody
I
think
has
gone
in
to
see
them.
People
from
elected
officials
to
friends
to
colleagues
to
workers
what
we're
doing
today,
Jimmy
what
we're
doing
today
is
naming
this
garage
after
you.
A
We
know
you
can't
be
here
with
us
today,
but
we
want
you
to
know
that
everyone
here
loves
you.
We
want
you
to
know
that
the
work
that
you
do
is
incredible
work.
We
want
to
say
thank
you
for
being
that
face
of
Boston,
there's
a
statue
on
the
top
and
there's
a
statue
in
the
back
in
those
names
of
people
all
over
the
place,
but
there's
no
one
more
deserving
of
having
something
named
after
them
than
Jimmy
Donnelly,
because
this
is
his
garage.
A
B
Don't
even
know
what
to
say
he's
been
my
best
friend
forever
and
I
haven't
left
his
side.
I
did
ask
his
ok.
If
I
could
come
up.
You
know,
I
left
him
to
come
up.
I
said
Jimmy
I'm
going
to
your
garage,
you
know,
is
it
ok
and
he
rolls
his
eyes
and
he
looks
at
me.
Yeah
go
and
he
he's
you
know
it's.
You
know
he's
coming
he
going,
but
he
says
I
want
you
to
go
to
my
garage
so
Jimmy.
You
know
when
you're
watching
this
I'm
here
at
your
garage
and
and
I.
B
A
Over
the
last
couple
years
has
been
rules
and
regulations
changing
the
garage.
As
you
all
know,
people
have
been
can't
park
in
the
garage
and
people
can
park
in
the
garage
and
people
and
I
so
Jimmy
one
day
grabbed
me,
and
he
said
man
I
got
something
to
tell
you.
I
said
what
is
it
Jimmy
because
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
people
have
been
pushed
out
of
the
garage
and
can't
park
in
the
garage
when
I'm
supposed
to
this.
He
goes
I
still
do
it.
I
said.
Thank
you.
A
Cat
put
this
idea
in
my
head
the
other
day
and
I:
don't
have
to
see
Jimmy
right
after
that
and
I
sat
what
I'm
gonna
sitting
on
the
bed
and
Jimmy
was
sitting
in
the
chair
and
I
knew
at
that
moment.
We're
gonna
name
this
garage,
so
without
further
ado,
I
want
everyone,
I
think
want
to
walk
over
to
the
front
of
the
garage.
So
we
can
officially
unveil
Jimmy's
garage
and
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
being
here
today
and,
let's
all
while
unveiling
the
garage.
A
The
only
thing
I
asked
you
to
do
actually
I'm
gonna
ask
father:
Joe
lights
come
up
here
for
me.
Come
up
here,
father
I
know
that
there's
many
different
faiths
here
and
some
of
us
don't
believe
in
any
any.
Don't
have
any
belief
and
that's
fine.
I'm
gonna
as
father
George,
say
prayer
as
father
Joe
is
praying
for
Jimmy
and
blessing
this
garage.
If
we
could
think
about
keeping
Jimmy
in
our
prayers
and,
let's
say
a
prayer
for
Jimmy
darling,.
C
Any
time
I
parked
in
the
garage
and
when
there
was
a
change
in
administration.
Mayor
Jimmy
told
me
he
had
to
call
someone
and
I
said
Jimmy.
Who
do
you
have
to
call,
and
he
told
me
Pat
who
he
had
to
call
and
I
said
Jimmy,
you
do
what
you
have
to
do
and
he
walked
me
to
the
the
end,
as
he
always
did
when
I
parked
here.
He
walked
me
to
the
ends
it
asked
me:
did
you
leave
your
keys
right?
Who
are
you
visiting
and
what's
going
on
some
days
when
I
visited
here?
A
C
We
bring
our
prayers
together,
let's
pray
for
nice
things
that
happen
and
good
things
that
happen.
Because
of
Jimmy,
we
pray
for
him
and
ask
God's
guidance
for
his
friends
for
his
mom.
We
remember
his
brother
Thomas,
who
he
has
grieved
so
much
these
past
weeks
and
months
and
years
and
bring
together
our
Kearse
confident
that
God
remembers
the
good
that
you
are
Jimmy
to
be
with
you
and
guide
you
with
your
friends
vigil
in
with
you,
with
your
city,
vigilant
with
you
and
in
the
honor
that's
received
today.
C
Much
deserved
because
of
the
goodness
you
have
shared
Lord.
Our
God
hear
our
prayers
and
guide
us
that
we
might
imitate
some
of
that.
Goodness
we
have
witnessed
through
Jimmy
Donnelly
as
Christians.
We
pray
through
Christ
as
people
of
faith.
We
pray,
Allah,
Adonai,
Lord's
and
in
all
ways
for
goodness
and
grace
for
Jimmy
who,
through
our
Lord,
who
lives
and
reigns
forever
and
ever.
