Love that painting. It doesn't have all the newer towers in the N Station/Haymarket area, but it could conceivably be updated by the artist just adding the buildings onto the original painting

One of the strangest depictions of Boston I have ever seen.

Haha, wtf is that?

That looks AI generated. I had similar results a year ago when it was just becoming a thing.

Well if they rebuilt the Harvard Bridge as the Zakim it would sure make a statement!

These "Boston but geographically wrong" images remind me of video game versions of Boston where they try to cram in as many landmarks into as small a space as they can. (Hey, that's another good thread idea...)
