8 days to the Sept. 24 preliminary. Most of the candidates are expected at a forum put together by the Back Bay Association this morning, the first of several forums this week. A transportation and environment forum at Boston Public Library in Copley Square is set for Tuesday night, and the Boston Foundation and WBUR team up for a forum hosted by UMass Boston on Thursday night.

State Rep. Marty Walsh yesterday proposed bulldozing City Hall -- and got a Herald front page out of it today -- while District 8 Councillor Michael Ross is expected to blast the decision at a press conference outside the Leon Building in Uphams Corner. In its survey last month, the Reporter asked candidates for their thoughts on what to do about the Dudley Street eyesore.
