Sweet! I LOVE that blur. Can we get a nomination thread going for photo of the year?

Is that the Beacon Park yard that's slated to go?

I wish I had taken this an hour or so earlier.

From halfway up the Pru.

That photo could start a small discussion. I never saw this area before the tunnel was built, but the tunnel both facilitates and obstructs pedestrian circulation in the area. Facilitates, by connecting the Science Center plaza directly to the north gate of Harvard Yard, removing any intervening street traffic. Obstructs, by forcing all pedestrians to use this path and making it hard to walk any other direction (such as from Johnston Gate to the Harvard Epworth Church).

Anyone know where I can find photos of what this area looked like before the tunnel?
 
"Melena Cass Boulevard" looks and sounds like something that should be in LA or Phoenix. It should be be totally redeveloped and renamed something classy or at least Boston-y ("Cassway"? "Cass Ave"?)
 
Melena Cass was a very important woman in the city. She deserves a street named after her. The anti-urban light industrial joke of a master plan dating back to the I-695 and "Campus High-School" which became Madison Park H.S. needs to be shredded and replaced with something congruent with the original South End grid. Ideally, it should be another, albeit better planned as an avenue, Mass Ave.
