Here are a series of posts on both the Occupy Boston Facebook page and Twitter feed, as well as a few videos.  Times are approximate as both post the timeline as, for example, “2 hours ago”. Photos below.

10 PM:  Clarification: Occupy Boston did not ‘move’ to a new camp, it established a second camp, or as was earlier tweeted, “We expanded to the new site for health and safety reasons. We do not have enough room at the old camp. We need 2 camps now.” Also, a media report (from Fox – consider the source):  Boston Police asks Occupy Boston to leave newly renovated park

10 PM:  Come down to Dewey Square right now! We need you here with your tents.
