Side note: that’s a nice dystopian filter you have on your camera.

As a kid, I crayoned a plan to convert the Red Line to a maglev and run it down the median of Route 2 to 128. Can I get the $50k?

I feel like there was a missed opportunity for using Copley as a viewing location for World Cup games. Close Dartmouth and use the BPL as a backdrop for the screen.

Too bad the daylighting of the canal is only temporary. That would be an interesting feature for the neighborhood.
