Not to take this too off topic, but I think that was because Sail Boston wouldn't guarantee Mumbles the $1M in safety 
expenditures

Lol, what did they expect, only two people show up to apply for the "hundreds of openings"?

  That's as bad as Boston's Mayor Manino not wanting the great tourist and money making Tall Ships to come into Boston 
for fear of crowds being drawn.....  OMG have people really lost their minds????

Wow.

"A weekend job fair at a Dedham shopping center was postponed today after
organizers became concerned that a flood of job seekers would snarl traffic
and create safety problems.

"The volume of expected attendees was much larger than we had initially
anticipated," said David Fleming, marketing director for W/S Development,
which was planning to host the job fair tomorrow at the new Legacy Place
retail and entertainment complex.

Fleming said his firm and Dedham officials became concerned when they
started receiving a high volume of telephone calls about the event, which
they did not advertise. He said W/S Development is now searching for a
different venue for the event, which will be re-scheduled for a date within
the next few weeks.

The event was expected to connect job seekers with 14 retailers that plan
to hire hundreds of workers before they open stores in Legacy Place this
summer. The retailers include Apple, City Sports, L.L. Bean and Showcase
Cinema De Lux."
