Not a crane there, but does anyone know what's happening in half of the Danker & Dononhue garage on Newbury? Seems like a big renovation... converting to mixed use hopefully?

The Chelsea Street Bridge between East Boston and Chelsea is being replaced. The existing single leaf Bascule-style bridge will be replaced with a wider-span vertical lift bridge.

Wait, are the building or demolishing those cooling towers?

 

[Beton Brut]

That's the Brayton Point power station, seen from the western approach of the Braga Bridge. I had a hell of a view of it from my old dorm room.

Those cooling towers are new. When they come down, it usually looks like this:

The music has been a favorite since I first came across it as a teenager. It's theatre music composed by a young Sibelius for a forgettable play by his brother-in-law. The incidental music also contains this old chestnut.
