I was just thinking that. the black steel is a great way to make a generic glass tower have more depth and stand out from the rest. Wonder what it would look like for other colors as well, wouldn't mind having a bright yellow, green, red exterior frame to differentiate from blue glass in the city

based on the quality I assume the negative was scanned to digital in 2011. great pic tho!

I used to live near the BQE in Brooklyn, and always found the parks/playgrounds along the highway in Williamsburg a double edged sword. Obviously does something to combat pollution with the amount of greenery and makes good use of otherwise unused plots, but also not the most inviting parks and...

I don't know about you but I don't mind it not being legible

Only positive I see of this is it gets rid of that horrendous off-ramp to Comm Ave. But still an utter disappointment. If anything I could stomach extending Charlesgate W over the bridge and tearing town the current Bowker to facilitate some Fenway motor traffic. But not this lol.

I can't wait for the pike to be covered piecemeal by development. Counting down the days until the pike becomes a tunnel into the city.

I think the buildings could be salvaged if they don't use Nintendo-in-a-smoker's-yardsale Yellow. maybe a paint job could fix it.

You're mostly right with your understanding of Back St, but something tells me the houses on Back St may have more power over that strip than you'd think. Based on my memory of how poorly that pothole-ridden road is taken care of to deter drivers from cutting, they may be in charge of the care...

do you have a link to the DCR's plans for this?

love the turkey placement

One iconic book I didn't see mentioned here is Common Ground by J. Anthony Lukas, detailing the Bussing Crisis and everything around it.

I remember reading one of my Great Grandmother's old diaries where she wrote she rode with her father from Weston to the Winsor School for classes in the 20s. Always blew my mind you could even make that commute via Streetcar. Funnily enough she mentions that her dad bought a Model T the year...
