Here's a thought, try contributing something, or GO AWAY

Here's a thought .... you go away first.

40 years later, she still looks good, but please, put up a new 900 footer. it' still under 1,000 feet. The skyline needs a kick in the pants.

Hancock of back in the day...

Also is this the old Back Bay Station?__________________________________________________________________________________^

 

[vanshnookenraggen]

It really blows my mind that they built a suburban style interchange in the middle of the city. I guess it shouldn't seeing that highway engineers did that everywhere but still.

 

[Ron Newman]

Perhaps the interchange was built with the intent it would be covered by development (as it eventually was)?

Also is this the old Back Bay Station?

Yes, indeed. That is the former New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad station called "Back Bay." It was built in 1899 and rebuilt in 1929. On the ends of the new Back Bay, there are some remnants of the original station that they left for historical sake and replicated into the arcade along Dartmouth.

I also love that photo because all of that huge swath is now Copley Place too.
