Day 3 is here, so is my camera’s rain gear, and what do you know, the sun started to come out. To day I give you A Dinosaur Artery. This is part of the old central artery elevated highway that went through Boston. Erected as a sculpture along Surface Road as a reminder to everyone what poor “Urban Renewal” can do to a city, decades of work and Billions of federal money were spent to finally take it down and put a tunnel under the city, reconnecting the city to the waterfront and the North End to the rest of Boston. The ugly green monster was replaced, by rolling open green parks. Even those have come under fire, as the poor economy has scrapped nearly every building that was planned on the “Rose Kennedy Greenway”. While its nice that we have some more greenery in the city, its empty pretty much all the time, and all of the so called “experts” in traditional red tape government fashion, can’t agree on how to better utilize the space. Don’t even get me started on how our infamous mayor is rumored to be holding a grudge on a developer or two and not letting them build their originally planned ideas.
