Channel 3 in Springfield went on a mission to uncover the mystery of Charlie Baker’s phantom Western Mass campaign office, which his aides have tweeted about, but nobody in Western Mass has ever heard of, or seen … until now.
What they uncovered was frightening – a shuttered gas station with steel wires over the windows, and rusty yellow aluminum siding adorned with a few Baker-Tisei signs. Zoinks!
Of course Baker’s staff assure the citizens of Holyoke that the office is a bustling hub of activity, and that it just isn’t open for media, or volunteers, or really anyone without a tetanus shot.
Even more chilling is this photo of the ghost office’s online property listing, showing that the 555 South Canal St. location (Service / Gas Station – Vacant) is available for rental today, replete with concrete floors and no sprinklers.
at this office. Not only is it “on the second floor,” but it’s in an industrial area surrounded by urban blight.

It’s empty!
