water streaming down piles, northern avenue, boston

on the corner of atlantic and northern avenue in boston is a large wooden shack-like structure built upon wooden piles driven into the fort point channel. it's labeled the james hook lobster company, but i don't know if it's a store or a restaurant, as i loathe seafood. at any rate, it looks like it belongs on a pier a small coastal town, rather than surrounded by some of the taller buildings in the city. and for some reason it's always cascading water from underneath into the channel, making it sound like a waterfall nearby, reinforcing the temporary feeling that you aren't actually in a big city.
