    North End | Downtown Small Infill Projects

    It appears this area was historically bad for pedestrians, look at this map of Haymarket in 1938. They had pedestrians tunnels underneath to the station Haymarket because of what I suspect was vehicle and horse traffic! The tunnels don't even go under the trolley tracks. .

    North End | Downtown Small Infill Projects

I wouldn't put it past the Kraft organization to use the guise of "Soccer stadium" as a backdoor to bring the Patriots up to Boston. Then the...
