Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and her challenger, Josh Kraft, both appeared at an event Wednesday where they greeted senior citizens while appearing to ignore each other. Earlier in the day, Kraft stood with protesters who want the demolition of White Stadium put on hold.

Demolition of the facility began last week as the renovation project moves forward. The trial over the lawsuit aiming to stop the plans is set to start in one month.

Dozens of people braved the freezing cold Wednesday to protest at the steps of Franklin Park's White Stadium in Boston. "This is community, and no one listens," said Renee Welch, who was moved to tears as she spoke.
