I currently work in downtown Boston and all i have to say is that there is alot of building going on in this town. Boston is taking on the republican party's ideals when it comes to the dreaded "R" word. I am talking about
the other dreaded "R" word not Replublican. (Can't wait to get the flack from my republican friends) You know that horrible word that scares people into thinking that there is going to be an apocalypse and that we are all going to be on the streets begging for money. Don't want to say it because i don't want to jinx it. While the country has felt the ill effects of the presidential spending policies, Boston has just kept on building. I think that it is great. The type of building that is going on in down town is alot of residential high rises. It is trying to get people to move back into the c
ities and depend less on their cars on a daily basis. Unfortunately for Boston it is going to be so expensive it is going to be difficult for someone who makes a reasonable living to afford them, but we will have to come to that when they are done. I am going to start following the project at Downtown Crossing. For many of us who have been in Boston for a while the existing Filenes block is a mix of different designs and continuity was not the main focus. That's downtown Boston though. Build where you can, because there is not much space. Well the Filenes block is going to be a new glimmering high rise of commercial, office and residential spaces when finally complete. They are hacking out the non historically significant areas and filling in with glass and steel. It should be interesting. To be honest with you, Downtown Crossing needed a face lift and to reinvigorate the surroundings. If I would be able to afford it I would live in this area in a hart beat. Take a look at the demolition process in action. I have to say that seeing the large excavator with the pincher attachment makes me revert to 10. All I can think is Crush, Boom, Cool!!!!!!!!!
