Another floor up. With some repaving and maybe one more business Lagrange might finally stop feeling like the last remnants of the combat zone

We should hope for more remnants of the combat zone. At least there were people out on the streets.

I do not think this would be a good idea.

Downtown Boston took a massive course of antibiotics and it killed off the disease and healthy gut biome along with it. It’s a major American urban center full of closed shops and a couple of strip clubs. To go to an independent movie theater you have to go Cambridge or Brookline.

Downtown Boston took a massive course of antibiotics and it killed off the disease and healthy gut biome along with it. It’s a major American urban center full of closed shops and a couple of strip clubs. To go to an independent movie theater you have to go Cambridge or Brookline.

You start by asserting there were "more people out on the streets" during the Combat Zone era (circa 1965-2000), but of course you don't offer a shred of objective proof for this incredibly dubious proposition. You don't even bother to define geographically which "streets" you're alluding to, and why those particular ones and not others. Then you drop this vivid--but ultimately empty and meaningless--metaphor involving "antibiotics", "disease," and "healthy gut biome."

You compound the meaninglessness of your argument by putting Downtown Boston in an isolated vacuum. Yes of course Downtown has "closed shops and a couple of strips"--but to a statistically significant degree compared to peer urban markets? Finally, independent movie theaters have been dying out for decades, everywhere. So the relevance that there is one in Cambridge or Brookline, relative to Downtown is... what exactly?

In short: your reactionary, context-free raving here is almost as bad as anything Rifleman ever spewed...

The vast majority of crime in the combat zone occurred on LaGrange Street. Ever been to Boston jeremi? I doubt it.
