Boston struggled/struggles with growth vs. preservation like a lot of cities.

There is massive regret that they razed the West End (where Nimoy grew up) and replaced it with antiseptic mega structured communities in the 60s and 70s. That freaked everyone out. And yet - developers are clamoring for land to build. They've created an entire neighborhood out of nothing, The Seaport district, which is banging now. They are attempting another creation as we speak.

Same as it ever was.

I know it well as it's the same here and it just angers me more often than not. Could you recommend a book about Boston through the years? -- nm - Krusty Jan 29, 07:14 1
- There's a bunch of coffee table books of Then/Now pictures of Boston. Next time you're hear, I'll show what I have. - Mel Profit Jan 29, 07:27
