Boston Has High Hopes Now That The Dig is Done
We left just about the time that the Big Dig was getting started.
I am not sorry to say that we missed all the fun.
But I have to admit to a bit of nostalgia when I see the clear air between the North End and the rest of the City.
It is nice to see that the siege is over and that there will be a bit of a reward for all the pain.
It is hard for me to compute that saving 15 minutes in going through the City was worth it though.
The biggest project ever. I almost typed boondoggle. But all's well that ends well I suppose.
Oh. That is the model in the photo.
The Rose Kennedy Fitzgerald Greenbelt is so new that it doesn't appear on Google Earth or, for that matter, in the Google images.
