in this picture, whats the story with the white building on the left?
the one to the left of The Newbury is awesome!
I prefer to call that building by its original name -- New England Life.
It,s the school dept. and some city services are there,but it dos'e say city hall in this picture over the doorwaySort of, it's the city hall annex, latter the school department(if my memory is correct)
Ron - why don't you like the new name? I think it's more fitting and more "Boston" - I think if that building had been called "The Newbry" for decades, and then the insurance company moved in and tried to rename it "The New England Life Building" people would probably be upset! I'm so glad the insurance company left and it was redeveloped with larger streetfront windows, better lighting and all the cool graphics and stuff - that was such a miserable block back when it was a single-tenant building.
Didn't Sears move out of the Sears Tower in Chicago?
